The following describes the passenger conveyor lighting device and passenger conveyor according to this embodiment with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
First, a passenger conveyor 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Here, an escalator will be taken as an example of the passenger conveyor 1, but the passenger conveyor 1 according to the present embodiment may be a moving walkway.

As shown in FIG. 1, the passenger conveyor 1 includes a plurality of steps 2, a drive unit 3, a pair of balustrades 4, a pair of skirts 5, a pair of handrail decks 6, a pair of handrail belts 7, and a pair of lighting devices 30.

The steps 2 are connected by an endless step chain 8. The steps 2 move in a circular motion between the lower floor entrance 10 and the upper floor entrance 11 while being guided by a guide rail 9. In this embodiment, the steps 2 are described as an example in which passengers move in the direction from the lower floor entrance 10 toward the upper floor entrance 11.

The drive device 3 moves the steps 2 in a circular motion together with the handrail belt 7. The drive device 3 may include a drive motor and a reducer (not shown).

The structure for circulating the steps 2 will be described in more detail. As shown in FIG. 1, a truss 12 is installed under the floor of a building. An upper machine room 13 is provided on the upper floor side of the truss 12, and a drive sprocket 14 is housed in the upper machine room 13 together with the drive unit 3. The rotation of the drive unit 3 is transmitted to the drive sprocket 14 by a drive chain 15. A lower machine room 16 is provided on the lower floor side of the truss 12, and a driven sprocket 17 is housed in the lower machine room 16. The above-mentioned step chain 8 is stretched across the drive sprocket 14 and the driven sprocket 17. When the drive unit 3 is driven, the drive sprocket 14 rotates and the step chain 8 moves in a circular motion. In this way, the steps 2 move in a circular motion between the boarding/alighting entrances 10 and 11, transporting passengers.

The balustrades 4 are provided vertically on both the left and right sides of the steps 2. The balustrades 4 are formed of a transparent material, for example glass. The balustrades 4 extend from the lower floor boarding/alighting entrance 10 to the upper floor boarding/alighting entrance 11. The balustrades 4 include an upper portion 4a and a manual portion 4b. The upper portion 4a extends from the boarding/alighting entrance 10 to the boarding/alighting entrance 11. The manual portion 4b is provided at each boarding/alighting entrance 10, 11, and includes an outer periphery formed in an arc shape. At each manual portion 4b, the handrail belt 7 reverses its moving direction.

The skirt 5 covers the lower part of the corresponding balustrade 4. The skirt 5 extends from the boarding/alighting door 10 to the boarding/alighting door 11, just like the balustrade 4.

The handrail deck 6 extends along the outer periphery of the balustrade 4. More specifically, the handrail deck 6 is formed along the lower floor nual portion 4b, the upper portion 4a, and the upper floor nual portion 4b. The handrail deck 6 may extend inside the corresponding skirt 5. As shown in FIG. 2, the handrail deck 6 includes two protruding portions 6a provided on both sides of the balustrade 4 and protruding on the opposite side to the handrail belt 7. In FIG. 2, the protruding portions 6a protrude downward. The balustrade 4 is inserted between the two protruding portions 6a. The handrail deck 6 may also be called a handrail rail.

As shown in FIG. 1, the handrail belt 7 moves in the moving direction D while being guided by the handrail deck 6 provided on the upper part 4a of the balustrade 4. The handrail belt 7 moves in a circulating manner with the steps 2 in synchronization with the steps 2. The handrail belt 7 reverses its moving direction along the handrail deck 6 provided on the manual section 4b at the upper floor entrance 11 and enters the inside of the skirt 5. The handrail belt 7 is hung on the handrail belt sheave 18 provided in the truss 12. The handrail belt sheave 18 is configured to rotate in synchronization with the drive sprocket 14, and the handrail belt 7 is pressed against the handrail belt sheave 18 by the pressure roller group 19. In this way, the handrail belt 7 moves in a circulating manner due to the rotation of the handrail belt sheave 18. Before and after the handrail belt sheave 18, the handrail belt 7 is guided by the guide roller group 20. The handrail belt 7 then travels from the handrail belt sheave 18 through the inside of the skirt 5 to the lower floor entrance 10. The handrail belt 7 advances to the outside of the skirt 5 at the entrance 10 and reverses its direction of movement along the handrail deck 6 provided in the manual section 4b. The handrail belt 7 then travels in the direction of movement D, guided by the handrail deck 6 provided in the upper section 4a.

Next, the lighting device 30 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 4.

As shown in FIG. 1, the lighting device 30 is provided along the handrail deck 6. As shown in FIG. 2, the lighting device 30 is disposed on the outside of the balustrade 4. More specifically, the lighting device 30 is attached to the protruding portion 6a of the handrail deck 6, which is located on the outside of the balustrade 4.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the lighting device 30 according to this embodiment includes a first lighting case 31, a second lighting case 32, a light source unit 35, and a light-shielding member 40.

As shown in FIG. 1, the lighting case provided in the lighting device 30 is divided into multiple cases according to the lift height of the passenger conveyor 1. Here, two representative lighting cases among the multiple lighting cases will be referred to as the first lighting case 31 and the second lighting case 32 and will be described below. The first lighting case 31 and the second lighting case 32 are adjacent to each other in the direction along the handrail deck 6 (movement direction D of the handrail belt 7). A gap 39 (see FIG. 3) is formed between the first lighting case 31 and the second lighting case 32. Note that the movement direction D of the steps 2 may be the opposite direction.

As shown in FIG. 2, the first lighting case 31 and the second lighting case 32 are attached to the underside of the handrail deck 6. More specifically, the first lighting case 31 and the second lighting case 32 are attached to the underside of the protruding portion 6a of the handrail deck 6 that is located on the outer side of the balustrade 4.

The first lighting case 31 and the second lighting case 32 each include a light-blocking base 33 supported by the handrail deck 6, and a cover 34 attached to the light-blocking base 33. The light-blocking base 33 is fixed to the convex portion 6a of the handrail deck 6. The light-blocking base 33 may be fixed to the handrail deck 6 with a bolt (not shown), or may be attached to the handrail deck 6. The cover 34 is disposed on the opposite side of the light-blocking base 33 to the handrail deck 6 (lower side in FIG. 2).

The cross section of the light-shielding base 33 is formed in a U-shape (angular U-shape) so that it opens downward. The cross section of the cover 34 is formed in a U-shape (curved U-shape) so that it opens upward.

The light-shielding base 33 and the cover 34 may be formed of an elastic material, for example, a resin material. The light-shielding base 33 has light-shielding properties that block light from the LED light source 37 described below toward the handrail deck 6. The cover 34 has transparency that allows light from the LED light source 37 to pass through.

As shown in FIG. 3, the light source unit 35 extends continuously inside the first lighting case 31 and the second lighting case 32. The light source unit 35 is housed inside each lighting case 31, 32. The light source unit 35 may extend continuously from one of the boarding/alighting doors 10, 11 to the other, but the lighting device 30 may include multiple light source units 35 depending on the lift height of the passenger conveyor 1.

When viewed in cross section, the upper end 34d of the cover 34 may be engaged with the lower end 33d of the light-shielding base 33. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, a base engagement portion 33a is provided at the lower end 33d of the light-shielding base 33, and a cover engagement portion 34a is provided at the upper end 34d of the cover 34. The base engagement portion 33a and the cover engagement portion 34a are engaged with each other.

More specifically, the base engagement portion 33a includes a claw 33b and a groove 33c, and the claw 33b is disposed below the groove 33c. The claw 33b protrudes toward the inside of the light-shielding base 33, and the groove 33c is formed on the inner surface of the light-shielding base 33. The cover engagement portion 34a includes a claw 34b and a groove 34c, and the claw 34b is disposed above the groove 34c. The claw 34b protrudes toward the outside of the cover 34, and the groove 34c is formed on the outer surface of the cover 34. The claw 33b of the base engagement portion 33a is inserted into and engaged with the groove 34c of the cover engagement portion 34a, and the claw 34b of the cover engagement portion 34a is inserted into and engaged with the groove 33c of the base engagement portion 33a. In this way, the cover 34 is attached to the light-shielding base 33.

As shown in FIG. 2, the light source unit 35 may include a tape-shaped base material 36, a plurality of LED light sources 37 provided on the base material 36, and a tube 38 housing the base material 36 and the LED light sources 37. The base material 36 extends along the handrail deck 6, and the LED light sources 37 are arranged at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction of the base material 36. FIG. 2 shows an example in which a space is formed within the tube 38, but as shown in FIG. 4, the space may not be formed by filling it with a resin material.

The base material 36 and the tube 38 may be made of a material having elasticity, for example, a resin material. The base material 36 and the tube 38 have transparency to transmit light from the LED light source 37. However, the configuration of the light source unit 35 is arbitrary as long as it extends continuously inside the first lighting case 31 and inside the second lighting case 32. The light source unit 35 may be composed of a light source other than the LED light source 37.

As shown in FIG. 3, the light-shielding member 40 extends from the first lighting case 31 to the second lighting case 32. The light-shielding member 40 is disposed inside the lighting cases 31 and 32. The light-shielding member 40 is configured to block light traveling from the light source unit 35 toward the handrail deck 6.

2 to 4, in this embodiment, the light-shielding member 40 is disposed on the portion of the light source unit 35 on the side of the light-shielding base 33. The light-shielding member 40 may be attached to the light source unit 35. As shown in FIG. 4, the light-shielding member 40 may be attached to the tube 38 of the light source unit 35 with a double-sided tape 41 interposed therebetween. The light-shielding member 40 may cover the surface 38a and both side surfaces 38b of the tube 38 of the light source unit 35 on the side of the handrail deck 6. The surface on the side of the handrail deck 6 may be referred to as the upper surface of the tube 38. Although a step is formed on the side surface 38b of the tube 38 shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, the light-shielding member 40 may be formed to follow the step. When viewed in cross section, the lower end of the light-shielding member 40 may be located at a height position approximately equal to the lower end of the light-shielding base 33.

As shown in FIG. 3, the light-shielding member 40 includes a first portion 40a facing the first lighting case 31 and a second portion 40b facing the second lighting case 32. In the direction along the handrail deck 6, the length X1 of the first portion 40a and the length X2 of the second portion 40b may be equal. In the direction along the handrail deck 6, the light-shielding member 40 may be disposed so that the gap 39 is located in the center.

The light-shielding member 40 may be formed in a tape shape. The light-shielding member 40 has a light-shielding property that blocks light from the LED light source 37. For example, the light-shielding member 40 may be a black tape. However, the configuration of the light-shielding member 40 is arbitrary as long as it can block light traveling from the light source unit 35 toward the handrail deck 6.

Incidentally, the light source unit 35 may be attached to the inner surface (lower surface) of the light-shielding base 33 described above. For example, the light source unit 35 may be attached to the light-shielding base 33 with double-sided tape (not shown) interposed between the light-shielding member 40 and the light-shielding base 33.

As described above, in the present embodiment, two adjacent lighting cases are referred to as the first lighting case 31 and the second lighting case 32 as representative examples of the multiple lighting cases. Therefore, the light-blocking member 40 according to the present embodiment is not limited to being applied only to the gap 39 between a pair of adjacent lighting cases, but may be applied between each pair of adjacent lighting cases.

As shown in FIG. 1, the lighting device 30 according to this embodiment is provided along the handrail deck 6 at the upper portion 4a of the balustrade 4. The lighting device 30 may be formed along the manual portion 4b of the balustrade 4 at the boarding/alighting entrances 10 and 11 and extend to the lower portion of the manual portion 4b, or may extend from the lower portion of the manual portion 4b to the inside of the skirt 5. If the base material 36 and the tube 38 constituting the light source unit 35 are elastic, the lighting device 30 can be made to conform to the arc shape of the manual portion 4b and can be easily extended to the inside of the skirt 5. In this case, the design can be improved. However, the lighting device 30 according to this embodiment does not have to be formed inside the manual portion 4b and the skirt 5.

In the lighting device 30 configured as described above, the light emitted from the LED light source 37 of the light source unit 35 passes through the cover 34 of each lighting case 31, 32. The light-shielding base 33 of each lighting case 31, 32 blocks the light emitted from the LED light source 37. As a result, the light emitted from the LED light source 37 located at the upper part 4a of the balustrade 4 is mainly emitted downward, and is prevented from being emitted upward.

As described above, the lighting device 30 includes multiple lighting cases according to the lift height of the passenger conveyor 1. For example, a gap 39 is formed between the first lighting case 31 and the second lighting case 32 that are adjacent to each other. As a result, light emitted from the LED light source 37 arranged inside the first lighting case 31 and the second lighting case 32 can be radiated upward through this gap 39. As described above, on both sides of this gap 39, the light directed upward is blocked by the light-shielding base 33 of each lighting case 31, 32. When the LED light source 37 of the light source unit 35 is arranged in this gap 39, relatively strong light can be radiated from the gap 39. On the other hand, even if the LED light source 37 is arranged at a position offset from the gap 39, light transmitted through the tube 38 extending continuously from the inside of the first lighting case 31 to the inside of the second lighting case 32 can be radiated upward from the gap 39. For this reason, the design of the passenger conveyor 1 can be deteriorated due to light leakage.

In contrast, according to this embodiment, the light-blocking member 40 extends from the first lighting case 31 to the second lighting case 32. This allows the light-blocking member 40 to cover the gap 39 between the first lighting case 31 and the second lighting case 32, and prevents light from radiating upward through this gap 39. This prevents the design of the passenger conveyor 1 from being impaired by light leakage.

In addition, according to this embodiment, the light-blocking member 40 is disposed on the portion of the light source unit 35 that faces the light-blocking base 33. This effectively blocks the light emitted upward from the light source unit 35 toward the handrail deck 6. This effectively prevents the design of the passenger conveyor 1 from being impaired by light leakage.

In addition, according to this embodiment, the light-blocking member 40 covers the surface 38a and side surface 38b of the tube 38 of the light source unit 35 that faces the handrail deck 6. This effectively blocks the light emitted from the light source unit 35 toward the handrail deck 6, and also effectively blocks the light emitted laterally from the light source unit 35. This effectively prevents the design of the passenger conveyor 1 from being impaired by light leakage.

In addition, according to this embodiment, the light-shielding member 40 is attached to the light source unit 35. This allows the light-shielding member 40 to be easily attached to the light source unit 35. This reduces the workload involved in attaching the light-shielding member 40.

In addition, according to this embodiment, in the direction along the handrail deck 6, the length of the first portion 40a of the light-blocking member 40 that faces the first lighting case 31 is equal to the length of the second portion 40b that faces the second lighting case 32. This makes it possible to prevent light leakage from the first lighting case 31 and light leakage from the second lighting case 32 from being biased. This makes it possible to effectively prevent deterioration of the design of the passenger conveyor 1 due to light leakage.

Second Embodiment
Next, a passenger conveyor lighting device and a passenger conveyor according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to Figs.

The second embodiment shown in Figures 5 to 7 differs mainly in that the cover of the second lighting case provided inside the skirt has light-blocking properties, and the other configurations are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 4. Note that in Figures 5 to 7, the same parts as those in the first embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 4 are given the same reference numerals and detailed descriptions are omitted.

As shown in Figs. 5 to 7, the lighting device 30 according to this embodiment includes a first lighting case 51, a second lighting case 52, and a light source unit 35. Fig. 6 shows an internal cross-sectional view of the skirt 5, but the handrail deck 6 shown in Fig. 6 shows the handrail deck 6 located outside the skirt 5.

The first lighting case 51 is provided on the handrail deck 6 outside the skirt 5. The first lighting case 51 is disposed below the manual section 4b. The first lighting case 51 includes the above-mentioned light-blocking base 33 and cover 34, and is configured similarly to the first lighting case 31 and second lighting case 32 according to the first embodiment, so a detailed description will be omitted here. The cover 34 of the first lighting case 51, which is located below the manual section 4b, is disposed above the light-blocking base 33.

The second lighting case 52 is provided inside the skirt 5. The second lighting case 52 is adjacent to the first lighting case 51 in the direction along the handrail deck 6 (the direction of movement of the handrail belt 7).

As shown in FIG. 5, the second lighting case 52 includes a base 53 and a cover 54. The base 53 is supported by the skirt 5. The handrail deck 6 does not have to extend to a position that supports the base 53. The handrail deck 6 does not have to extend to the inside of the skirt 5. The base 53 of the second lighting case 52 may be supported by the skirt 5 via a structure 5a arranged within the skirt 5, rather than via the handrail deck 6. The cover 54 is attached to the base 53 and is arranged above the base 53.

As shown in FIG. 7, the cross section of the base 53 is formed in a U-shape (angular U-shape) so that it opens upward, and the cross section of the cover 54 is formed in a U-shape (curved U-shape) so that it opens downward. The second lighting case 52 according to this embodiment may have a structure in which the lighting cases 31 and 32 shown in FIG. 2 are inverted upside down.

The base 53 and the cover 54 may be formed of a material having elasticity, for example, a resin material. The base 53 may have a light-blocking property that blocks the light emitted from the LED light source 37. The cover 54 may have a light-blocking property that blocks the light from the LED light source 37.

When viewed in cross section, the lower end 54d of the cover 54 may be engaged with the upper end 53d of the base 53. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, a base engagement portion 53a is provided at the upper end 53d of the base 53, and a cover engagement portion 54a is provided at the lower end 54d of the cover 54. The base engagement portion 53a and the cover engagement portion 54a are engaged with each other.

More specifically, the base engagement portion 53a includes a claw 53b and a groove 53c, and the claw 53b is disposed above the groove 53c. The claw 53b protrudes toward the inside of the base 53, and the groove 53c is formed on the inner surface of the base 53. The cover engagement portion 54a includes a claw 54b and a groove 54c, and the claw 54b is disposed below the groove 54c. The claw 54b protrudes toward the outside of the cover 54, and the groove 54c is formed on the outer surface of the cover 54. The claw 53b of the base engagement portion 53a is inserted into and engaged with the groove 54c of the cover engagement portion 54a, and the claw 54b of the cover engagement portion 54a is inserted into and engaged with the groove 53c of the base engagement portion 53a. In this way, the cover 54 is attached to the base 53.

As shown in FIG. 5, a gap 56 may be formed between the first lighting case 51 and the second lighting case 52. This gap 56 is disposed inside the skirt 5. A part of the first lighting case 51 may be inserted inside the skirt 5.

The light source unit 35 extends continuously inside the first lighting case 51 and inside the second lighting case 52. The configuration of the light source unit 35 is similar to that of the light source unit 35 according to the first embodiment, so a detailed description is omitted here.

A power cable 55 extends from the light source unit 35. The power cable 55 may be disposed inside the skirt 5. The power cable 55 is a cable for supplying power to the LED light source 37 of the light source unit 35 from a power source (not shown). The power cable 55 may be formed integrally with the light source unit 35, or may be formed separately from the light source unit 35 and connected to the light source unit 35. The power cable 55 may be connected to a control panel (not shown) disposed inside the skirt 5 or the truss 12, so that power can be supplied to the light source unit 35. In this case, the power cable 55 may extend from inside the skirt 5 to inside the truss 12.

Thus, according to this embodiment, the second lighting case 52 provided inside the skirt 5 includes a cover 54 arranged above the base 53 supported by the skirt 5, and the cover 54 has a light-shielding property that blocks light directed upward from the light source unit 35. As a result, the cover 54 can block light emitted upward from the light source unit 35 arranged inside the second lighting case 52. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the light of the lighting device 30 from leaking to the outside through gaps in the structure of the skirt 5. As a result, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the design of the passenger conveyor 1 due to light leakage. In addition, since light can be blocked inside the skirt 5, the light source unit 35 can be extended from the outside of the skirt 5 to the inside of the skirt 5. In this case, a long light source unit 35 can be used for the lighting device 30, and it is possible to suppress the imposition of restrictions on the length of the light source unit 35. Therefore, it is possible to improve the availability of the light source unit 35.

In addition, according to this embodiment, the power cable 55 extending from the light source unit 35 is disposed inside the skirt 5. This makes it possible to facilitate wiring work for the lighting device 30 and improves workability.

The above-described embodiment can prevent the design from being impaired by light leakage.
