Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a passenger conveyor capable of automatically starting and stopping operation by detecting a user. It relates to a passenger conveyor that can exhibit its effects.

There are escalators and moving sidewalks that have detection means for detecting a user at the doorway, stop running when there is no user, and start when the user is detected. In this type of passenger conveyor, the steps and the like are stopped when the conveyor is stopped, so the user cannot determine the running direction (upward or downward) of the passenger conveyor. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent reverse entry into the passenger conveyor on the side where the user gets off.

In Patent Literature 1, a sensor is installed at the exit, and when it detects that a user is entering in the opposite direction, the passenger conveyor is operated in the forward direction so that the user is aware of the reverse entry and is prevented from boarding the passenger conveyor. I have to.

The second detection means is capable of detecting a third area formed closer to the second step than the second area in the second exit,
The second control means may operate the second driving means when the user is detected in the third area while the second driving means is stopped.

The first region is a region of 700 mm to 1700 mm from the tip of the comb from which the first step of the first passenger conveyor is paid out,
The second area may be an area of 1200 mm to 1700 mm from the tip of the comb into which the second step of the second passenger conveyor is drawn.

The first area is an area of 0 mm to 1000 mm from the folded portion of the first handrail of the first passenger conveyor,

A passenger conveyor according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As the passenger conveyor, the escalator 10 capable of automatically starting and stopping operation will be taken as an example below.

FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of an escalator 10 of the present invention. The escalator 10 includes two side-by-side escalators, that is, a first escalator 20 (first passenger conveyor) and a second escalator 50 (second passenger conveyor). The first escalator 20 and the second escalator 50 are set to run in different directions. run in the down direction indicated by . In the figure, U is the upper floor side, and D is the lower floor side.

As shown in FIG. 1, the first escalator 20, which is an up escalator, has a first step 30 for users to get on to a first entrance 21 on the lower floor side D and a first exit 22 on the upper floor side U. , a first handrail 31 to be gripped by a user is arranged so as to be cyclically movable. The first step 30 is extended or retracted from combs 23 arranged at the entrances 21 and 22 . The first handrail 31 has a folded portion 32 on the front side of the comb 23 on the side of the first entrance 21 and on the back side of the comb 23 on the side of the first exit 22 . to move in a circular fashion. The first step 30 and the first handrail 31 are each operated by a drive mechanism comprising a motor, speed reducer, sprocket and the like. The driving mechanism for the first step 30 and the first handrail 31 is collectively referred to as first driving means 33 (see FIG. 4).

The second escalator 50, which is a descending escalator, has a second step 60 and a second handrail 61, as shown in FIG. are arranged so as to be cyclically movable. The second step 60 and the second handrail 61 are also linked to a driving mechanism comprising a motor, a speed reducer, a sprocket, etc., so that they can circulate. The second step 60 is extended or retracted from combs 53 arranged at the entrances 51 and 52 . The second handrail 61 has a folded portion 62 on the front side of the comb 53 on the side of the second entrance 51 and on the back side of the comb 53 on the side of the second exit 52 . to move in a circular fashion. A drive mechanism for the second step 60 and the second handrail 61 is collectively referred to as a second drive means 63 (see FIG. 4).

The first escalator 20 and the second escalator 50 are each provided with detection means for automatically starting and stopping operation. The detection means includes, for example, detection means (first detection means, second detection means) such as range sensors 40 and 70 capable of detecting users in the entrances 21, 22, 51 and 52, and steps 30 and 60. Detecting means such as photoelectric sensors 42 and 72 capable of detecting a user moving to and from the entrance/exit can be used.

The lower floor side D will be described below. As shown in FIG. It is a second range sensor shown. Range sensors 40 and 70 may employ a reflective beam sensor such as a ToF (Time of Flight) sensor. The ToF sensor measures the time it takes for the laser light emitted from the light projecting part to reflect off an object and return to the light receiving part while rotating the laser light projecting part and the light receiving part. It is a sensor that outputs distance data to an object. Range sensors 40 and 70 can be arranged at entrances 21 and 52 . The range sensors 40 and 70 can also be arranged on the left and right sides of the first entrance 21 and the left and right sides of the second exit 52, respectively.

In this embodiment, the first range sensor 40 is arranged on the deck board 24 on the left side of the first entrance 21 in the boarding direction, as shown in FIGS. The second range sensor 70 is arranged on the deck board on the left side of the second exit 52 in the exit direction. The installation positions of the range sensors 40 and 70 may be skirt guards, inlet guards, and the like.

Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the first range sensor 40 emits a first laser beam 41 toward the first entrance 21 and acquires distance data to the detected object. Also, the second range sensor 70 emits a second laser beam 71 toward the second exit 52 and acquires distance data to the detected object.

1, the photoelectric sensors 42, 72 are arranged between the turn-back portions 32, 62 of the handrails 31, 61 and the combs 23, 53, respectively. A user moving between steps 30 and 60 is detected. The photoelectric sensors 42 and 72 can be composed of photoelectric beam projectors and receivers, and emit light 43 and 73 in a direction orthogonal to the direction of movement of the steps 30 and 60 . The first photoelectric sensor 42 arranged at the first entrance 21 of the first escalator 20 is shown in FIGS. The photoelectric sensor of the second escalator 50 is the second photoelectric sensor 72 .

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of main parts showing the control device 80 of the escalators 20, 50 related to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4 , the control device 80 includes first control means 44 for controlling the first escalator 20 and second control means 74 for controlling the second escalator 50 .

The first control means 44 is connected to the first range sensor 40 and the first photoelectric sensor 42, and in the general control described below, based on these detection results, the first escalator 20, that is, The automatic starting/stopping operation of the first driving means 33 is performed. Further, the second control means 74 is connected to the second range sensor 70 and the second photoelectric sensor 72, and in general control, the second escalator 50, that is, the second Automatic start/stop operation of the driving means 63 is performed.

As a general automatic start/stop operation of the first escalator 20, when the first range sensor 40 of the first entrance 21 detects a user within a predetermined area from the state where the first driving means 33 is stopped, The first control means 44 starts driving the first driving means 33 and accelerates to a speed at which the user can safely get on the first step 30 . Then, when the first photoelectric sensor 42 of the first entrance 21 detects the user, the first control means 44 assumes that the user has boarded the first step 30, and predetermines that the user has boarded the first step 30. , the time for the first step 30 to make a half turn plus 30 seconds), the driving of the first driving means 33 is continued, and then deceleration is stopped. After the first range sensor 40 detects a user within a predetermined area, when the user cannot be detected from the predetermined area within a predetermined time, or when the first photoelectric sensor 42 does not detect the user , the first control means 44 assumes that the user has not boarded the vehicle, drives the first driving means 33 for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds), and then decelerates and stops. The same applies to the second escalator 50, except that the ascending and descending directions are reversed.

In the escalator 10 configured as described above, by adjusting the installation positions of the range sensors 40 and 70 and the outputs of the emitted laser beams 41 and 71, the laser beam 41 emitted from the first range sensor 40 can be adjusted as shown in FIG. As shown in a), it is possible to reach not only the first entrance 21 of the first escalator 20 but also a range R1 of a part of the second exit 52 of the second escalator 50 that is provided side by side. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5B, the laser beam 71 emitted from the second range sensor 70 reaches not only the second exit 52 of the second escalator 50 but also the first exit of the first escalator 20. 21 can reach up to a range R2.

Therefore, in the present invention, not only the first entrance 21 but also a part of the second exit 52 is set as a detection range by the first range sensor 40, and the second exit detected by the first range sensor 40 is detected. Based on the detection result of the entrance 52, the user who tries to reversely enter the second escalator 50 from the second exit 52 is detected.

A predetermined detection area of the first entrance 21 detected by the first range sensor 40 is set as a first area 91, as shown in FIG. The first area 91 is a predetermined distance (for example, 700 mm to 1700 mm) from the tip of the comb 23 of the first entrance 21, or a predetermined distance (for example, 0 mm to 1000 mm) from the folded portion 32 of the first handrail 31. can be set as the area of

A predetermined area of the detection area of the second exit 52 detected by the first range sensor 40 is set as a second area 92, as shown in FIG. The second area 92 is a predetermined distance (eg, 1200 mm to 1700 mm) from the tip of the comb 53 of the second entrance 51, or a predetermined distance (eg, 500 mm to 1000 mm) from the folded portion 62 of the second handrail 61. can be set as the area of

The first area 91 and the second area 92 can be set by defining the distance data of the first range sensor 40, and other areas can be excluded by substituting zero for the distance data.

The detection area of the second exit 52 detected by the second range sensor 70 is, as shown in FIG. It can be area 93 .

As shown in FIG. 4, in the present invention, the first control means 44 and the second control means 74 are electrically connected, and the first control means 44 controls the operating state of the second escalator 50, i.e., the second drive state. It is possible to receive from the second control means 74 whether the means 63 is in a driven or stopped state. Further, the second control means 74 can receive from the first control means 44 the operating state of the first escalator 20, that is, whether the first driving means 33 is in the driving or stopped state.

As shown in FIG. 1, the first control means 44 controls the user P1 to reversely enter the second escalator 50 while both the first driving means 33 and the second driving means 63 are stopped. When detected, it controls to drive the first driving means 33 . In other words, instead of driving the second escalator 50 in the forward direction for the user P1 who is entering the second escalator 50 in the reverse direction so that the user P1 recognizes that the user P1 is entering the second escalator 50 in the reverse direction, the first escalator 20 is driven in the forward direction. That is, by driving in the direction in which the user should board for a predetermined period of time, the user recognizes that the escalator on which the user should board is the first escalator 20 .

It is desirable that the first driving means 33 start to drive gently and accelerate to a predetermined speed until the user turns to the first entrance 21 and safely gets on the first step 30 . Then, when the first photoelectric sensor 42 detects that the user has boarded in the first step 30, as in the conventional automatic start/stop operation, a predetermined set time (for example, the first step 30 is 1/2). The first driving means 33 may be driven for the period of time for circulation plus 30 seconds.

On the other hand, when the user is detected in the second area 92 and then moves to the first area 91 but does not move to the first step 30, the first driving means is kept for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds). Power consumption can be reduced by stopping after driving 33 . Further, when the user leaves the second area 92, power consumption can be reduced by driving the first driving means 33 for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) and then stopping the driving.

This eliminates the need to operate the second escalator 50, which should not be operated, and allows the user to operate the first escalator 20, which the user should board or is likely to board, resulting in an energy-saving effect. I can do it.

It is also possible that the user P1, who entered the second area 92 in reverse, overlooks the driving of the first step 30 of the first escalator 20, and moves further to the third area 93 without noticing that the user is in reverse. is assumed. However, the user P1 in the second area 92 is also detected by the second range sensor 70 . Therefore, when the second control means 74 detects the user entering the third area 93 from the second area 92 in the reverse direction, the second control means 74 rotates the second driving means 63 in the forward direction, that is, in the direction opposite to the entering direction of the user P1. It should work. This allows the user P1 to recognize that the second escalator 50 is not the escalator to be boarded, but the reverse approach.

Not only users of the escalator 10 but also users who simply cross the entrance/exit pass through the entrance/exit of the escalator 10. - 特許庁For example, the user indicated by symbol P2 in FIG. 1 is a user who simply passes through the second area 92 in an oblique direction as indicated by the arrow. If the first escalator 20 is driven by detecting that the user P2 has entered the second area 92, the energy saving effect is reduced. Therefore, it is desirable to exclude users who pass through the second area 92, such as the user P2, and to correctly detect users who are about to enter the second escalator 50 in reverse.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the first range sensor 40 can further detect the user P3 in a fourth area 94 on the further side than the first area 91 and the second area 92 . Then, when the user P3 enters the first area 91 or the second area 92 from the fourth area 94 while the first driving means 33 is stopped, the first control means 44 controls the first driving means 33 is activated. As a result, the user P2 who simply passes through the second area 92 in an oblique direction can be excluded from detection, and the first escalator 20 can be prevented from operating unnecessarily, thereby saving energy. In addition, the user P3 of the fourth area 94 can recognize that the first escalator 20, which has started to move in the direction to board, is the escalator to board, thereby preventing reverse entry.

The fourth region 94 can be a region on the far side from 0 mm to 200 mm to 0 mm to 300 mm from the first region 91 and the second region 92 .

The above description is for the purpose of illustrating the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention described in the claims or restricting the scope thereof. Further, the configuration of each part of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and of course various modifications are possible within the technical scope described in the claims.

For example, in the above embodiment, the lower floor side D has been described, but by performing the same configuration and control for the upper floor side U, reverse entry into the first escalator 20 can be prevented.

The first detection means 40 and the second detection means 70 employed in the embodiment are not limited to range sensors including ToF sensors. Also, the photoelectric sensors 42 and 72 can be substituted with sensors of other types.

Also, the ranges of the first region 91, the second region 92, and the fourth region 94 described above are examples, and the lengths and the like can be appropriately set according to the specifications of the escalator.

Further, the first control means 44 may be configured to operate continuously for a predetermined period of time based on the reverse entry of the user detected by the second control means 74 . Specifically, when the second range sensor 70 detects the user entering the third area 93 from the second area 92 in reverse, the second control means 74 causes the first control means 44 to detect reverse entry. signal. When receiving the reverse entry detection signal from the second control means 74, the first control means 44 continues to operate the first driving means 33 for a predetermined period of time. As a result, the user who notices the reverse entry in the third area 93 can safely board the first step 30 from the first area 91 while the first escalator 20 is in operation. When the second range sensor 70 no longer detects the user who has moved from the second area 92 to the third area 93, the second control means 74 stops the first control means 44 from detecting reverse entry. By transmitting a signal to that effect, the first control means 44 may control the first driving means 33 to stop.

A control flow of the automatic start/stop operation of the first escalator 20 by the first control means 44 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8. FIG.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart based on the detection result of the first range sensor 40. FIG. In step S11, the timer TM of the first control means 44 is reset to zero. In this state, when the first range sensor 40 detects the user in the second area 92 (Yes in step S12), the timer TM is set to TA (for example, 5 seconds) (step S13), and the first control means 44 (step S14). The user detected in the second area 92 is the reverse entry user. On the other hand, when the user is not detected in the second area 92 (No in step S12) and the user is detected in the first area 91 (Yes in step S15), the timer TM is set to TB longer than TA (for example, , 10 seconds) (step S16) and transmitted to the first control means 44 (step S14). If the user is not detected in step S14 or in the first area 91 (No in step S15), the process from step S11 is repeated.

FIG. 7 is a flow chart based on the detection result of the first photoelectric sensor 42 . At step S21, the timer TM of the first control means 44 is reset to zero. In this state, when the first photoelectric sensor 42 detects the user (Yes in step S22), the timer TM is set to TC (step S23). TC can be the driving time of the first driving means 33 in a general automatic start-stop operation, for example, the time for the first step 30 to cycle 1/2 round plus 30 seconds. Then, the set timer TM is transmitted to the first control means 44 (step S24). If step S24 or the first photoelectric sensor 42 does not detect the user (No in step S22), the process from S21 is repeated.

FIG. 8 shows a timer TM (FIG. 6) set based on the detection result from the first range sensor 40 and a timer TM (FIG. 7) set based on the detection result from the first photoelectric sensor 42. ), the first control means 44 operates the first driving means 33. FIG.

The first control means 44 resets the set time to zero while the first escalator 20 is in a stopped state, that is, in a state where the first driving means 33 is stopped (step S31). The set time is the operating time during which the first driving means 33 should be operated.

In this state, when the timer TM is received from the flow of FIG. 6 or 7 (Yes in step S32), it is determined whether or not the set time is zero (step S33). Timer TM is TA, TB or TC. If the set time is zero (Yes in step S33), the set time is set in the timer TM (step S34). Then, the first control means 44 operates the first driving means 33 to start driving the first escalator 20 (step S35).

The operation of the first escalator 20 continues until the operating time reaches the set time (No in step S36, No in step S32, Yes in step S38), and when the operating time reaches the set time (Yes in step S36), The first escalator 20 (first driving means 33) is stopped (step S37). The first escalator 20 operates for 5 seconds when the set time is TA, 10 seconds when the set time is TB, and 30 seconds plus the time required for the first step 30 to make half a turn when the set time is TC.

In step S32, if the timer TM is not received (No in step S32), the set time stored in the first control means 44 is checked, and if the set time is greater than zero (step S38 Yes), the process moves to step S36, and the operation of the first escalator 20 is continued until the set time reaches the operation time. If the set time is zero in step S38 (No in step S38), it waits for reception of the timer TM (step S32).

On the other hand, when the timer TM is received (Yes in step S32), if the set time is not zero in step S33, that is, if it is TA, TB or TC, whether the newly received timer TM is longer than the set time. It is determined whether or not (step S39). If the received timer TM is longer than the set time (Yes in step S39), the received timer TM is replaced with the set time (step S40), and the operation of the first escalator 20 is continued. On the other hand, if the received timer TM is equal to or less than the set time (No in step S39), the operation of the first escalator 20 can be continued with the original set time.

According to the above flow, when the user enters the second area 92 while the first escalator 20 is stopped (step S12), the first escalator 20 is operated and the escalator on which the user should board It can be shown that there is (flowchart FIG. 8). This run time is a short TA. The reason why the TA is set short is that when the user confirms the operation of the first escalator 20, moves toward the first escalator 20, and enters the first area 91, the TA becomes longer than the TA in step S15. This is because the timer TB is set. By activating the first escalator 20 without activating the second escalator 50 for the user in the second area 92, the user can recognize the escalator to board, and the second escalator 50 is Since it does not operate, energy can be saved. When the user enters from the second area 92 to the third area 93 in the reverse direction, based on the detection result of the second range sensor 70, the second control means 74 controls the forward direction, that is, the approach direction. By operating in the opposite direction, the user must be made aware of the reverse approach.

When the first photoelectric sensor 42 detects the user (step S22), it is assumed that the user has moved from the first area 91 to the first step 30 and boarded the first escalator 20. By activating the first drive means 33 during the general drive time TC (for example, the time for the first step 30 to cycle 1/2 times plus 30 seconds) for the automatic start/stop operation, the user is moved to the upper floor. can be transported to U.
