Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、エスカレータ等の乗客コンベアに備えられる乗客コンベアの移動手摺清掃装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般に、乗客コンベアの移動手摺清掃装置の清掃具において、移動手摺の移動または速度を検出する検出手段の検出部を移動手摺の表面に当接させ、移動手摺の移動または速度を検出している。例えば特開平5−294592号公報等に記載のように、駆動検出ローラを移動手摺に当てこの駆動ローラの回転を検出するマイクロスイッチからの信号で清掃体を回転させて移動手摺を清掃する移動手摺の自動清掃装置が提案されている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、従来の乗客コンベアの移動手摺自動清掃装置では、移動手摺の移動または速度を検出する検出手段の検出部を移動手摺の表面に常時当接させて、移動手摺の移動または速度を検出している。検出手段の検出部に発電機を用い前記発電機の駆動ローラの回転により前記発電機を回転させて電圧を発生させ、移動手摺の移動または速度を検出している移動手摺においては、前記発電機のカーボンブラシが摩耗に至り電圧が発生しない、また回転軸の摩耗劣化で回転不良が発生する等の不具合が短期間の使用で起こり、移動手摺の移動や速度の検出ができずに移動手摺清掃装置の正常な動作ができず、長期的に安定した移動手摺の清掃ができない問題点があった。
【0004】
本発明の目的は、検出手段の検出部の前記発電機の寿命を延ばし発電機の交換に要する費用および労力を削減し、長期的に安定した移動手摺の清掃ができる乗客コンベアの移動手摺清掃装置を提供することにある。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この目的を達成するために本発明は、乗客コンベアの移動手摺の動作を検出する検出手段を備え、前記移動手摺の摺接する清掃具を前記移動手摺に選択的に当接させる手段と、前記移動手摺の移動に伴って前記清掃具より移動手摺の表面を自動的に清掃し前記清掃具を自動的に更新する乗客コンベアの移動手摺清掃装置において、前記移動手摺の動作または速度を検出する検出手段の検出部を選択的に当接させる手段を設けた構成にしてある。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の乗客コンベアの移動手摺清掃装置の形態を図を用いて説明する。
【0007】
図1は本発明の一実施の形態による乗客コンベアの移動手摺清掃装置を取付けた乗客コンベアの側面図である。移動手摺1はガイド2に沿って移動可能に構成され、図示を省略した無端状のステップに同期して移動する。この移動手摺1の表面に対向する部分に移動手摺清掃装置3が設けられている。
【0008】
この移動手摺清掃装置3の詳細を図2から図13を用いて説明する。
【0009】
乗客コンベアに設置された移動手摺清掃装置3は、図2に示すように、上面開口の本体ケース4と、未使用の帯状清掃具5のロール状に装着する第1軸体6と、帯状清掃具5の使用済み部を巻取る第2軸体7と帯状清掃具5の未使用部分の一部を押圧して移動手摺1の表面に当接させる押台昇降機構などからなる清掃具押圧手段8と移動手摺1の移動有無及びその移動方向を検出する移動手摺速度検出手段9と移動手摺速度検出手段9の検出部を移動手摺1に選択的に当接させる検出部昇降手段10と使用済みの帯状清掃具5を第2軸体7に巻取るために第2軸体7を回転させる清掃具更新手段11と清掃効果を向上させる清掃液やシリコンなどを清掃具5に含浸させるための清掃液供給手段12と移動手摺清掃装置3の状態を監視、記憶、演算、制御する制御手段13と移動手摺清掃装置3の作動開始を指令する操作部及び状態を表示する操作表示手段14を少なくとも備えている。
【0010】
ガイドバー15は、帯状清掃具5の更新時に図4の押台マット8iと帯状清掃具5の接触面をなくし帯状清掃具5が捩れることを防止して円滑に帯状清掃具5を第2軸体7に巻き取るためのものである。
【0011】
本体ケース4は図11に示すようにステンレス製ケース4aと上部をゴムカバー4bで形成し、図2の移動手摺1より上方まで覆い移動手摺清掃装置3内部に異物や身体の一部が入り込み難い構造としている。
【0012】
帯状清掃具5は長さ3mで幅11cmの不織布を使用し、未使用部の帯状清掃具5を図2の第1軸体6にロール状に巻き取り、清掃液供給手段12と清掃具押圧手段8を経由して、第2軸体7に帯状清掃具5の先端を巻いて装着する。
【0013】
第1軸体6と第2軸体7は図6に示す軸体18の同一形状の軸体で、図6の軸部18aと軸部18aの両端に備えられたつば18bとで構成されている。また、軸部18aには切り込み18cが設けられており、図2の帯状清掃具5の端部を入れて巻き取る構造としてある。連結用軸溝18dは軸体18を図2の第2軸体7として使用する場合に、使用済みの帯状清掃具5を巻き取るときに、図2の清掃具更新手段11からの回転力と逆転を阻止する力を伝達する機能を備えている。
【0014】
清掃具押圧手段8は移動手摺1が移動しているときに帯状清掃具5の未使用部分の一部を押圧して移動手摺1の表面に一定圧力で当接させる装置で、図4と図5により説明する。
【0015】
第1電動機8aの回転を減速する減速機8bの軸に可動筒8fを昇降させる偏芯カム8cと第1スイッチ8j及び第2スイッチ8kを動作させるマグネット付きレバー8dを取付けて、固定筒8eの内部に装着された可動筒8f及び第1ばね8gを第1電動機8aの回転により昇降させる。押台金具8h及び押台マット8iを装備した可動筒8fは移動手摺1表面の凹凸に応じて第1ばね8gの伸縮により移動手摺1への押圧を一定にできる。また移動手摺1の断面形状の押台金具8hに移動手摺1の僅かな形状の違いに追従するスポンジを布材で覆った押台マット8iを備えている。
【0016】
第1電動機8aの回転を第1スイッチ8jが動作したら停止させることにより、可動筒8fが最上点で停止し、図5に示すように移動手摺1の表面に押台マット8iが当接する。このとき、左右の押台金具8hは移動手摺1に押しつけられて閉じ、移動手摺1の側面まで押出しマット8iが包む構造となっている。
【0017】
押台マット8iを移動手摺1から離す時には第2スイッチ8kが動作するまで第1電動機8aを回転させる。押台8iを移動手摺1から離すと図4に示すように左右の押台金具8hは自重で開き押台マット8iと帯状清掃具5が平らになり、更に押台マット8i上面がガイドバー15より下方の位置になる機構としてあることから、帯状清掃具5の更新時に帯状清掃具5が捩れない構造となっている。
【0018】
移動手摺速度検出手段9は移動手摺1の移動速度及び方向を図3の発電機9bの発生電圧を図2の制御手段13に入力し、移動手摺1の清掃開始と終了と帯状清掃具5の更新を行っている装置で図3により説明する。移動手摺速度検出手段9は図3の移動手摺1に当接するローラ9aとローラから図示しない加速機を介して連動する発電機9bと第2ばね9cとレバー9dで構成されている。レバー9dにはローラ9aと図示しない加速機と発電機9bが取り付けられており、第2ばね9cで常に上方に押し上げている。
【0019】
また、発電機9bは移動手摺清掃装置3の動力源である図2のバッテリー16に充電するための装置としても用いている。
【0020】
検出部昇降手段10は移動手摺速度検出手段9のローラ9aを選択的に図2の移動手摺1に当接させる昇降装置で図3により説明する。図3に示すように駆動機構を清掃具更新手段11の第2電動機11aとクラッチ機構11cを共用し、第2電動機11aが右回転したときのみに第1プーリ10aが左回転するクラッチ機構11cにより、第1プーリ10aの回転で移動手摺速度検出手段9の昇降を行っている。第1プーリ10aにワイヤー10bの端部を固定し、ワイヤー10bのもう一方の端部は第2プーリ10cを経由して移動手摺速度検出手段9のレバー9dに固定されている。第1プーリ10aのワイヤー10bの端部を固定している部位が、回転し右側にくると移動手摺速度検出手段9のレバー9dが下げられ、図2の移動手摺1からローラ9aが離れ発電機9bの回転が止まる。第1プーリ10aのワイヤー10bの端部を固定している部位が、回転し左側にくると、ワイヤー10bが緩み、移動手摺速度検出手段9の第2ばね9cによりレバー9dが上方に押し上げられ、図2の移動手摺1表面にローラ9aが当接し回転を始め発電機9bが回転する機構となっている。
【0021】
清掃具更新手段11は図3に示すように第2電動機11aと第2電動機11aが左回転したときのみに第2軸体7を右回転させ図2の帯状清掃具5の使用済み部を巻き取り、また第2軸体7が左回転の力が加わり図2の帯状清掃具5が緩むことがないようにするクラッチ11bを設けて、図2の清掃液供給手段12で清掃液を含浸した帯状清掃具5が図2の移動手摺清掃装置3に当接する位置まで図2の帯状清掃具5を更新させる機構としている。
【0022】
清掃液供給手段12は第1軸体6と清掃具押圧手段8との間に配置されており、図7に示すように清掃液を溜めておく清掃液タンク12aと清掃液タンク蓋12bで構成されており、未使用の帯状清掃具5を巻いた軸体18を清掃液タンク蓋12bに装着し第1軸体6とする構造となっている。清掃液タンク12aと清掃液タンク蓋12bと第1軸体6は簡単に分解、装着でき、清掃液タンク12aは上面が全面あいており、清掃液の補充が簡単にできる構造となっている。図8に示す清掃液タンク蓋12bは帯状清掃具5をガイドする筒状ガイド12cと帯状清掃具5を通すための第1切り込み12dと第2切り込み12eを設けてある。
【0023】
第1軸体6に巻かれた帯状清掃材5は清掃液タンク蓋12bの底面に設けた第1切り込み12dを通して筒状ガイド12cを経由させて、清掃液タンク蓋12bの底面に設けたもう一方の第2切り込み12eを通して第1軸体6を清掃液タンク蓋12bに装着する構造となっている。
【0024】
清掃液を入れた清掃液タンク12aに第1軸体6を装着した清掃液タンク蓋12bで蓋をすることで帯状清掃具5に清掃液を含浸させる構造とすることで構成される。
【0025】
乗客コンベアに設置された図2の移動手摺清掃装置3の清掃具交換作業は、
(1)使用済みの帯状清掃具5を全て巻き取った図2の第2軸体7を取り外す。
【0026】
(2)帯状清掃具5が無くなった第1軸体6を取り外し、図2の第2軸体7取付部に装着する。
【0027】
(3)図7の清掃液タンク蓋12bを外す。
【0028】
(4)図7の新しい帯状清掃具を巻いてある軸体18の清掃具先端を図8の清掃液タンク蓋12bの第1切り込み12dを通し、筒状ガイド12cを経由させて、第2切り込み12eを通して前記未使用清掃具を巻いてある軸体18を清掃タンク蓋12bに装着する。
【0029】
(5)帯状清掃具5の先端を引き出し、図2の清掃液供給手段12と図2の清掃具押圧手段8を経由して、図2の第2軸体7の図6に示す軸部溝18dに帯状清掃具5の先端を挿入し図2の第2軸体7の軸に巻き付ける。
【0030】
上記の手順で行う構造となっている。
【0031】
制御手段13はマイクロコンピューターで構成され、図9に示すブロック図のように清掃具押圧手段8と移動手摺速度検出手段9と検出部昇降手段10と清掃具更新手段11と操作表示手段14とから各々の入力信号を取り入れ、移動手摺清掃装置3の状態を監視、記憶、演算を行い、清掃具押圧手段8と検出部昇降手段10と清掃具更新手段11の制御を行い、操作表示手段14へ表示するための信号を出力している。

入力手段S1は図2の移動手摺清掃装置3の清掃具押圧手段8と移動手摺速度検出手段9と検出部昇降手段10と清掃具更新手段11と操作表示手段14から信号を受けている。
【0034】
監視手段S2は入力手段S1からの信号を受け図2の移動手摺清掃装置3が正常に作動しているか状態を常時監視している。
