Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an escalator for carrying a carrier such as a baggage cart and an entrance / exit of a passenger conveyor such as a moving passage.

[Prior Art] FIGS. 4 and 5 are a schematic plan view and a side sectional view showing an entrance / exit of a conventional general escalator, and FIG. 6 is a comb of FIG. 5 and a comb of an entrance / exit floor plate. It is an enlarged view of a side part.

In FIGS. 4 and 5, 1 is a step, 3 is a comb fixed to the front end of the entrance / exit floor plate 2, and 4 is a main frame that supports and fixes the entrance / exit floor plate 2 and the comb 3 of the passenger conveyor.

In the escalator having the entrance / exit configured as described above, the user can carry the baggage cart 5 on the step 1 in which a plurality of treads are continuous from the floor board 2 of the upper or lower entrance through the comb 3 to the tread. Put on. When the step 1 approaches the other entrance / exit through the intermediate inclined portion, the other step 1 passes through the comb 3 and the back side of the floor plate 2 through the comb 3 from above the step 1 in the horizontal tread surface. As shown in FIG. 6, the comb-side portion of the comb 3 and the floor plate 2 is inclined downward with respect to the tread 1, and the tip of the comb 3 is steeply inclined.

Furthermore, as an escalator for carrying a carrier, Shokai Kai
As disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 63-183182, there has been one in which a guide recess for a wheel of a carrier is formed on the surface of the tip of a comb.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

In recent years, baggage carts 5 have been used at airports,
I am trying to put this cart 5 on the escalator,
In the conventional general entrance / exit, when the cart 5 moves between the entrance / exit floor plate 2 and the step 1, the cart 5
Is required to be moved in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the escalator, but since the tip of the comb 3 is steeply inclined downward toward the step 1, when the cart 5 is placed on the step 1 from the floor plate 2, The wheels 5a bend, the cart 5 collides with the inner plate of the balustrade of the escalator, and the steps 1 to 2
When the cart 5 is unloaded, the wheels 5a require a large force to get over the comb 3, and there is a problem that the cart 5 that cannot get over the comb 3 collides with the reversing portion of the escalator. In the case where the tip of the comb 3 is provided with a guide recess for the wheel 5a, when the cart 5 is placed on the step 1 from the floor plate 2, the wheel 5a is inserted into the recess to move the cart 5 in the longitudinal direction of the escalator. The wheel 5a may not be able to fit into these due to the short length of the recess, although it is useful for making the car go straight in parallel with the car. 5
When the wheel 5a is inserted, the inclination of the recess becomes steeper than that of the comb 3 without these, so that a large force is required for the wheel 5a to get over the comb 3, and the vehicle often fails to get over. Dots occur.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to obtain an entrance / exit of a passenger conveyor such as an escalator that allows a cart to easily get in and out between an entrance floor and a step.

[Means for solving the problem]

An entrance / exit of a passenger conveyor according to the present invention is formed by continuously forming parallel to the longitudinal direction of the passenger conveyor on a surface of a comb and a portion of the floor plate of the entrance / exit entrance, the wheel guide groove having an inclination gentler than the inclination of the comb. It is a thing.

[Action]

The entrance / exit of the passenger conveyor according to the present invention is formed by connecting the wheel guide groove to the comb and the entrance / exit floor plate, so that the guide groove can be elongated and the guide groove can be inclined more gently than the inclination of the comb. By doing,
The shallow portion of the guide groove on the side opposite to the comb is relatively long, so that when the cart is placed on the steps from the floor plate, the wheels are easily fitted in the guide groove. Further, as described above, the inclination of the guide groove is gentler than the inclination of the comb, so that when the cart is lowered from the steps to the floor plate, the wheels are fitted into the guide groove and pushed up, so that the comb can be overcome with a relatively small force and the floor plate The cart can be moved when there is no guide groove. Furthermore, by making the guide groove continuous in the longitudinal direction of the passenger conveyor, by putting wheels in the guide groove and getting on and off the cart, it is possible to ensure that the cart goes straight in the longitudinal direction of the passenger conveyor at these times. it can.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

1 is a schematic plan view showing an entrance / exit of a passenger conveyor according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged vertical sectional view taken along the line II-II of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is of FIG. FIG. 3 is a partial enlarged cross-sectional view taken along the line III-III. 1 to 3, the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 4 to 6 indicate corresponding parts,
6 is a wheel guide groove. Two wheel guide grooves 6 are continuously arranged in a straight line on the surface of the comb side of the comb 3 and the entrance / exit floor plate 2, and are arranged in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the escalator. As shown in FIG. It has a trapezoidal shape. Also,
Only two wheel guide grooves 6 are provided at positions corresponding to the left and right wheels 5a of the baggage art at intervals equal to these intervals. Further, one end of the wheel guide groove 6 opens at the tip of the comb 3, and at this end the groove bottom 6a is arranged at a position slightly higher than the upper surface of the cleat 1a provided on the tread surface of the step 1, and at the other end, the groove bottom 6a. Is flattened with the surface of the floor plate 2, and is formed to be higher in the direction opposite to the comb 3 of the floor plate 2 with a gentler inclination than the inclination of the tip of the comb 3. The structure of this embodiment other than that described above is the same as that of the conventional one shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, and in this embodiment, a baggage similar to that shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is used. It's like putting a cart.

Next, movement of the baggage cart between the entrance / exit and the step according to this embodiment will be described. When the cart is placed on the step 1 from the floor plate 2, the user pushes the cart from a portion of the floor plate 2 where the wheel guide groove 6 is not present, and the left and right wheels 5a of the cart are connected to the comb 3 of the left and right wheel guide grooves 6. At the opposite end, these guide grooves 6 are inserted. By pushing the cart in this state, the wheel 5a is guided by the guide groove 6 and goes straight, so that the cart can be placed on the step 1 from the floor plate 2 through the comb 3 above. When the cart is lowered from the step 1 onto the floor plate 2, the user pushes the cart to put the wheel 5a of the cart into the tip portion of the comb 3 of the guide groove 6, and by pushing the cart in this state, the cart is removed. The wheel 5a is guided to the guide groove 6, climbs up these gentle slopes, crosses the comb 3, and reaches the floor plate 2 of the guide groove 6.
It is possible to go straight through the side portion and place it on the portion of the floor plate 2 where the guide groove 6 is not provided.

Although the escalator for carrying the baggage cart has been described in the above embodiment, the present invention can be applied to an escalator for carrying a carrier having left and right wheels other than the baggage cart and a passenger conveyor such as a moving passage.

〔The invention's effect〕

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY As described above, the present invention is provided on the comb-side surface of the floor plate on which the comb is mounted from the tip of the surface of the comb, and is arranged along the boarding / alighting direction at the boarding / alighting entrance and exit A wheel that is arranged at a position corresponding to the wheel of the transporting vehicle, is formed with an inclination angle that is less than the inclination angle of the front edge of the comb, gradually rises toward the surface of the entrance / exit floorboard, and disappears on the surface of the entrance / exit floorboard. It is provided with a guide groove.

As a result, the guide groove can be made long, and the guide groove is made to have a gentler inclination than the comb, so that the shallow portion of the guide groove on the side opposite to the comb becomes relatively long. Therefore, when the transport vehicle is placed on the steps from the floor plate, the wheels thereof can be easily fitted into the guide groove. Further, as described above, the inclination of the guide groove is gentler than the inclination of the comb, so when lowering the transport vehicle from the steps to the floor plate, by fitting the wheel into the guide groove and pushing it up, the comb is overcome with a relatively small force to get over the floor plate. It is possible to move the carrier to a portion where there is no guide groove, and it is possible to easily get over the comb on the carrier without fail. Furthermore, by making the guide groove continuous in the longitudinal direction of the passenger conveyor, by putting wheels in the guide groove and getting on and off the carrier, it is possible in these cases to move the carrier straight in the longitudinal direction of the passenger conveyor. Therefore, it is possible to ensure the safety, and therefore the transport vehicle does not collide with the inner plate of the balustrade or the like, and the safety is obtained.
