Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a passenger conveyor that conveys passengers by means of an endless conveying body that circulates.

Passenger conveyors, such as escalators and moving walkways, are provided with an entrance and exit and a transport section. The entrance/exit is provided at the beginning and end of the passage (entrance and exit). The transport unit has an endless transport body, and the endless transport body circulates along the passage to transport passengers. Passengers move from the boarding gate to the starting end (passenger receiving section) of the endless carrier, get on the endless carrier, are carried by the endless carrier, and then move to the terminal end (passenger delivery section) of the endless carrier. When it arrives, it moves to the exit, and then moves to leave the passenger conveyor.

The endless conveying body is in motion and the outlet is of course stationary, resulting in a speed difference between the two. For this reason, passengers usually begin to be cautious when the exit is approaching, and pay constant attention when moving to the exit. However, for some reason, a lack of attention can lead to the arrival at the exit with nothing in mind. In this case, the passenger feels frustrated by the sudden situation.

Regarding this, countermeasures have already been implemented, such as installing a voice guidance unit that performs voice guidance such as "Please proceed without stopping" near the exit. However, in recent years, more and more passengers are wearing earphones or headphones. For passengers who have blocked out such surrounding environmental sounds, alerting by voice guidance is not effective.

Therefore, as a solution to this, a passenger conveyor (Patent Document 1) equipped with a light source arranged at the tip (comb) of the exit and having a display unit that indicates the exit by means of this light emission (Patent Document 1), or a passenger conveyor near the exit There has been proposed a passenger conveyor provided with a light source arranged below the endless carrier, and a display section for indicating the terminal end of the endless carrier by means of light emitted from a gap between steps.
