TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a passage facility, and more particularly to a passage facility in which a passenger conveyor such as an escalator or a moving walkway is arranged alongside a stairway as a pedestrian passage.
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a space-saving type passage facility in which a passenger conveyor is installed side by side with a stairway which is a pedestrian passage of a building structure and a handrail for a passage is attached to the passenger conveyor side is known, for example, from JP-A-7-189449. Have been.
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the above prior art, since the height positional relationship between the handrail of the passenger conveyor and the handrail for the passage is not sufficiently taken into consideration, the stair surface serving as the passage or the handrail is higher than the upper surface of the handrail. There is a possibility that there is a possibility that a person passing by the stairs may accidentally fall on the step side, and there is a restriction on the installation that cannot be juxtaposed.
Conversely, the stairs as a passage or the handrail body may be lower than the upper surface of the handrail, and there is a concern that the passengers of the passenger conveyor may accidentally fall on the stairs.
In addition, depending on the height and the widthwise positional relationship between the handrail and the handrail, a stair pedestrian may grab the handrail, and conversely, a passenger on the passenger conveyor may grab the handrail, causing a dangerous element. was there.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to eliminate restrictions on the installation of a passenger conveyor arranged side by side.
It is another object of the present invention to eliminate dangerous elements between a handrail and a handrail body of a passenger conveyor with juxtaposed aisles, and to enhance the safety of passengers and pedestrians.
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a movable step connected endlessly and movable, a handrail moving in synchronization with the movable step, and a guide path for guiding the movement of the handrail. In a passage facility for arranging a passenger conveyor having a balustrade and a main frame supporting these components side by side with a passage such as a stair, a handrail for a passage provided on a side portion of the passage is provided with the main frame. And a partition body whose upper end is located above the upper surface of the handrail and which is fixed to the main frame body, between the handrail body and the handrail. .
Further, the handrail body and the partition body are located closer to the passage than an outer edge of the balustrade.
According to the above configuration, since the partitioning body serving as an isolation wall is provided between the handrail of the passenger conveyor and the handrail body for the passage, the stair surface serving as the passage or the handrail body is located at a position higher than the handrail, and The danger that a pedestrian falls to the step side and the installation restriction accompanying this are eliminated. In addition, the risk of a stair pedestrian grabbing the handrail and, conversely, a passenger grabbing the handrail is eliminated.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 1, a stair 3 connecting the lower floor 1 and the upper floor 2 is provided, and an escalator 5, which is one of the inclined passenger conveyors, is installed near the building wall 4 on one side of the stair 3. FIG.
FIG. 2 shows a cross section of a main part along the line II in FIG. The escalator 5 is installed so as to straddle a lower entrance 6 provided on the lower floor 1 and an upper entrance 7 provided on the upper floor 2, and includes a number of endlessly connected moving steps 8. The vehicle moves upward from the lower vicinity 9 to the upper vicinity 10 to transport passengers (in the case of descent, the reverse course). Further, the escalator 5 includes a handrail 11 that moves in synchronization with the moving step 8 on both sides of the moving step 8, and a balustrade 12 that forms a guide path for the handrail 11 and that constitutes a side wall of the moving step 8. ing.
On the other hand, the stairs 3 adjacent to the escalator 5 form a series of passages at the lower first step 3A, the central landing 3B, and the upper last step 3C. In general, the inclination angle of the escalator 5 is 30 degrees, and the average inclination angle connecting the first step 3A and the last step 3C of the stair 3 with a straight line is about 20 degrees. It often becomes a bottleneck.
The reason for this is that, for example, depending on the positional relationship between the lower entrance 6 and the first step 3A, that is, the magnitude of the displacement of the step 8 in the traveling direction, a stair pedestrian may fall on the step 3 side. In other words, if the stairs or the handrails 14 which are the passages are higher than the upper surface of the handrail 11, or if the pedestrians reach the handrail 11 if they reach a little, or if the escalator 5 passengers reach a little, In this case, the handrail body 14 is brought into contact with the handrail body 14, and there is a risk that a fall accident may be caused due to a relative speed difference.
Therefore, in the present invention, as shown in the figure, between the escalator 5 and the stairs 3, along the outer edge of the deck cover 12 </ b> A on the outer edge of the balustrade 12, a position (height) higher than the upper surface of the handrail 11. In (h), a partition 13 having an upper end 13A and a handrail 14 projecting outward by a protrusion W3 are provided.
Here, the partition body 13 is formed by adding several tens of millimeters (width W2) to the total width W1 of the escalator 5, and together with the handrail body 14 for stairs passers and its mounting bracket 14A, a structure having a total width W4. Is supported and fixed by a main frame 15 and support columns 15B fixed to the upper chord material 15A.
The partition body 13 has a height h at a position where the handrail 11 and the handrail body 14 are close to each other in the height direction (for example, a portion M in FIG. 1), and the handrail 11 and the handrail body 14 have a height h. The upper end 13A is located near the upper surface of the deck cover 12A, for example, at a portion where the.
The partitioning body 13 and the handrail body 14 are each made of a painted steel plate or a stainless steel plate or the like whose surfaces are beautifully decorated. Can be.
With the configuration described above, it is possible to prevent a fall accident of a stairway pedestrian, solve a problem in an installation plan, and reduce a construction period and a cost on a building side due to a full strength load on a escalator side of a partition body 13 and a handrail body 14. Can contribute. In the above-described embodiment, the case where the stair surface serving as a passage or the handrail body is lower than the upper surface of the handrail has been described. Conversely, the stair surface serving as the passage or the handrail body is lower than the upper surface of the handrail. Higher cases can be implemented.
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a passage facility which aims at eliminating the restrictions on the installation of a passenger conveyor arranged in a passage and the danger of passengers and pedestrians.
