Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a passenger conveyor such as an escalator or an electric road, and more particularly to a passenger conveyor having an improved floor for getting on and off.

[Conventional technology]

As a boarding / alighting floor arranged at both entrances / exits of a passenger conveyor, for example, an escalator, a stainless steel plate with a surface pattern is generally used, but a part of which uses a lighting device is also known. For the former, JP-A-61-169
Japanese Patent Publication No. 490 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 44-2344 are known as the latter.

Among the above-mentioned conventional techniques, the former has an uneven pattern on the surface of the boarding / alighting floor to enhance the aesthetic appearance and the anti-slip effect during walking. The latter uses lighting effects to draw attention to the surface of the boarding / alighting floor to inform the floor name and the direction of travel.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

In the above-mentioned conventional technology, the boarding / alighting floor is a passage for passengers to reach the step, and is a display that visually recognizes the floor name (first floor or second floor). It is necessary to have a function as an opening / closing lid for inspecting equipment in the machine room. In this way, in addition to the strength of the passage, it is necessary to give consideration to the display and maintenance in consideration of maintenance and maintenance, but recently, there is a heavy design expression, for example, a decorative floor made of porcelain plate in towns and museums famous for historic sites. However, there is a problem that the conventional technology cannot deal with the structure and strength.

An object of the present invention is to provide a passenger conveyor having a boarding / alighting floor, which has improved design and strength and has a function as an inspection lid for a machine room.

[Means for solving the problem]

The above-mentioned purpose is a passenger conveyor in which a passenger floor in which a decorative floor is partially fitted is arranged at both entrances and exits,
A surface material, a reinforcing plate integrated on the back side thereof, and a reinforcing frame for reinforcing the back side of the reinforcing plate, and forming an opening in the surface material, and facing the opening. This is achieved by forming a concave portion in the reinforcing plate, arranging the reinforcing frame so as to support the bottom portion of the concave portion from the back side, and storing and holding the decorative floor so as to be flush with the surface material in the concave portion. It

[Action]

According to the above configuration, since the decorative floor is held flush with the surface material, the design of the boarding / alighting floor is improved, and since the decorative material is held by the recessed portion of the reinforcing plate and the reinforcing frame, the surface is stepped on. Even if it is rare, the installation will not loosen, and since the decorative material is stored in the recess of the reinforcing plate, water and dust will not enter the machine room and fall, and it will function as an inspection lid. Can be maintained.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with respect to the escalator shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. There is a moving handrail 2 which moves in synchronism with the step 1 which is connected endlessly and moves, and the moving handrail 2 is guided and supported by balustrades 3 standing upright on both sides of the step 1. The boarding / alighting floors 4 arranged at both entrances / exits are composed of a surface material 5, a reinforcing plate 6 integrated on the back side thereof, and a reinforcing frame 7 attached to the back side of the reinforcing plate 6 to reinforce. . The entire layout configuration including the main body frame 10 that supports all of these structures and is installed across the upper and lower floors is almost the same as that of the conventional escalator.

However, in the present invention, the configuration of the boarding / alighting floor 4 is significantly different from the conventional one. That is, it is characterized in that a decorative floor 8 made of a material different from that of the loading / unloading floor 4 and having a large plate thickness is embedded in a part of the surface of the loading / unloading floor 4.

Explaining the specific configuration, first, the opening 5H having a size that allows the decorative floor 8 to be fitted is formed in the surface material 5 forming the surface of the boarding / alighting floor 4. A concave portion 6K for accommodating the decorative floor 8 is formed at a position facing the opening 5H of the reinforcing plate 6 provided on the back side of the surface material 5, and the opening 5H forms a decorative floor holding portion. . The depth of the concave portion 6K is such that the surface of the decorative floor 8 is flush with the surface of the surface material 5 when the decorative floor 8 is stored, and the bottom of the concave portion 6K is The reinforcement frame 7 is applied. Then, the reinforcing frame 7 is finally retained by the main body frame 10 as indicated by the arrow W. Here, from the opening 5H to the recess 6K
The decorative floor 8 housed in is made of a porcelain plate, a glass plate, or the like having a heavy weight, and in order to secure its strength, it has a plate thickness larger than the total thickness of the surface material 5 and the reinforcing plate 6. are doing. The decorative floor 8 formed in this way is stored in the recess 6K. However, when the reinforcing plate 6 is made of a steel plate, metal comes into contact with the pottery or glass, and a load acts on the decorative floor 8. Then, this makeup floor 8 is easily broken. Therefore, when the decorative floor 8 is stored in the recess 6K, it is fixed via a cushioning material, for example, an adhesive 9 having a cushioning effect.

Since the boarding / alighting floor 4 is configured as described above, the surface material 5, the reinforcing plate 6, the decorative floor 8 and the reinforcing frame 7 are structurally integrated, and the back side of the concave portion 6K accommodating the decorative floor 8 is provided with the reinforcing frame 7 Since it is supported by, the mechanical strength of not only the boarding / alighting floor 4 but also the decorative floor 8 is improved and the designability is also improved. In addition, when opening and closing the entry / exit floor 4 during maintenance work, these are handled as a unit.

Further, since the storage part of the decorative floor 8 forms a box-shaped recess 6K, it is possible to prevent rainwater and the like from entering the machine room under the boarding / alighting floor, and the boarding / alighting floor 4 having a function as an inspection lid for the machine room. Can be

Besides, since the bottom of the dressing floor 8 is supported by the reinforcing frame 7,
Even if a passenger steps on the dressing floor 8, the dressing floor 8 does not sink.

Although not shown in the drawing, the surface material 5 of the boarding / alighting floor 4 is provided with a number of uneven patterns to prevent passengers from slipping, and a pattern 8S is also provided on the surface of the decorative floor 8. The expression of solid feeling and visual effect are enhanced by the material.

In the above description, an escalator is used as an example of the passenger conveyor, but it goes without saying that it can be applied to an electric road, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a passenger conveyor having a boarding / alighting floor, which has improved design and strength and has a function as an inspection lid of a machine room.
