Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、多数の踏段が連結された搬送帯に、要時に複数が連結されて車椅子積載面を形成する車椅子用踏段が設けられた車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
第一の従来の車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターとして、例えば特公平2−14278号公報に示された次に述べる構成がある。すなわち、多数の踏段が無端状に連結されて主枠内を循環移動する搬送帯と、この搬送帯の一部をなし踏段の間に設けられた傾斜ステップ、フォークステップ及び車止めステップによって要時に車椅子積載面を形成する車椅子用踏段が設けられる。
【0003】
また、第二の従来の車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターとして、例えば特許2581176号公報に示された次に述べる構成がある。すなわち、搬送帯の踏段の間に設けられた前述の車椅子用踏段が、主枠の端部に設けられた仕掛装置に係合して動作して要時に車椅子積載面を形成する。
【0004】
これらの第一及び第二の従来の車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターでは、主枠端部の乗降口の床板の先端から複数の車椅子用踏段の踏み面が十分に露出した状態で、車椅子用踏段が相互に係合されて車椅子積載面を形成するように構成されている。このため、主枠の長手端部に露出した複数の車椅子用踏段の踏み面の主枠長手に沿う長さに対応した搬送面水平移動区域が設けられている。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記のような従来の車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターでは、主枠の長手端部に比較的に長い車椅子用踏段の搬送面水平移動区域が形成される。また、前述の第二の従来の車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターにおいては、車椅子搬送時に搬送帯を停止させることなしに、車椅子用踏段が主枠端部の仕掛装置に係合することにより車椅子積載面を形成する動作を行う。このため、主枠の上端部等に設けられた仕掛装置に車椅子用踏段が係合して移動する間は、車椅子用踏段を水平移動させる必要がある。
【0006】
したがって、主枠の上端部等の搬送帯の搬送面水平移動区域が標準エスカレーターよりも長くなる。このため、主枠端部の水平移動部分が短い標準形のエスカレーターを車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターに改造する場合に、主枠の長手における所要の設置スペースを得るために、主枠端部の支持体相互の間隔を広げる工事を要するという問題点があった。
【0007】
この発明は、かかる問題点を解消するためになされたものであり、標準エスカレーター用に匹敵した主枠の長手方向のスペースに設置できる車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターを得ることを目的とする。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この発明に係わる車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターにおいては、下端及び上端にそれぞれ乗降口が形成されたエスカレーターの主枠と、多数の踏段が無端状に連結されて傾斜した主枠内を循環移動する搬送帯と、上記主枠の下端側へ突出変位する連結腕からなる連結腕可動機構が設けられて車椅子積載面を形成する第一車椅子用踏段と、この第一車椅子用踏段の上記主枠の下端側に配置されて突出した上記連結腕可動機構に支持される上昇踏み板からなる上昇踏み板可動機構が設けられて上記車椅子積載面を形成する第二車椅子用踏段と、上記第一車椅子用踏段の上記主枠の上端側に配置されて要時に上記主枠下端側が下方へ傾斜する傾斜踏板からなる傾斜踏板可動機構が設けられた傾斜車椅子用踏段と、上記主枠内の下端部寄りに配置され、常時は上記各車椅子用踏段の各可動機構に係合しない位置に保持されて、要時に移動し、上記主枠の下端部における搬送帯の水平移動域で上記傾斜車椅子用踏段及び第二車椅子用踏段の各駆動機構に係合し、上記傾斜車椅子用踏段及び第 二車椅子用踏段の各駆動機構を動作させる下部下側仕掛装置と、上記主枠内の下端部寄りでかつ上記下部下側仕掛装置の上側に配置され、常時は上記各車椅子用踏段の各可動機構に係合しない位置に保持されて、要時に移動し、上記主枠の下端部における搬送帯の水平移動域で上記第一車椅子用踏段の駆動機構に係合し、上記第一車椅子用踏段の駆動機構を動作させる下部上側仕掛装置と、上記主枠内の上端部寄りに配置され、常時は上記各車椅子用踏段の各可動機構に係合しない位置に保持されて、要時に移動し、上記主枠の上端部における搬送帯の水平移動域で上記第二車椅子用踏段の可動機構に係合し、上記第二車椅子用踏段の可動機構を動作させる上部下側仕掛装置と、上記主枠内の上端側乗降口の櫛の直下位置でかつ上記上部下側仕掛装置の上側に配置され、常時は上記各車椅子用踏段の各可動機構に係合しない位置に保持されて、要時に移動し、上記主枠の上端部における搬送帯の水平移動域で上記傾斜車椅子用踏段及び第一車椅子用踏段の各駆動機構に係合し、上記傾斜車椅子用踏段及び第一車椅子用踏段の各駆動機構を動作させる上部上側仕掛装置とを備え、上記搬送帯の搬送面における上記主枠の上端側乗降口寄りに配置される搬送面水平移動域が、車椅子積載面の上記主枠の長手に沿う水平面長さよりも短く形成されるようにしたものである。
【0009】
また、この発明に係わる車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターにおいては、仕掛装置との係合による車椅子用踏段の可動機構の動作時に搬送帯を低速移動させる制御装置が設けられる。
【0010】
また、この発明に係わる車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターにおいては、仕掛装置を主枠上端側乗降口の床板下面に対応した位置に設置し、かつ床板下面において仕掛装置により車椅子用踏段の可動機構を引退及び突出動作させる制御装置が設けられる。
【0011】
また、この発明に係わる車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターにおいては、第一車椅子用踏段及び第二車椅子用踏段により主枠上端側乗降口寄りに車椅子積載面が形成され、かつ傾斜車椅子用踏段の傾斜踏板可動機構の主枠上端側の一部が主枠上端側乗降口の床板下面に対応した位置に配置された状態で搬送帯を停止させる制御装置が設けられる。
【0012】
また、この発明に係わる車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターにおいては、第二車椅子用踏段は、第一車椅子用踏段の主枠の下端側に配置されて突出した連結腕可動機構に支持される上昇踏み板からなる中間上昇踏み板機構及び上記主枠の下端側へ突出変位する連結腕からなる中間連結腕可動機構が設けられて車椅子積載面を形成する中間車椅子用踏段を有し、この中間車椅子用踏段の上記主枠の下端側に配置されて突出した上記中間連結腕可動機構に支持される上昇踏み板からなる上昇踏み板可動機構が設けられて上記車椅子積載面を形成するものである。
【0013】

【0017】
なお、下部上側仕掛装置8は後述する第一車椅子用踏段と係合し上昇運転時に第一車椅子用踏段の後述する連結腕を突出・下降運転時に引退する。この機能のために、一条のローラチェン10が設けられている。
【0018】

【0019】
なお、下部下側仕掛装置12は後述する傾斜車椅子用踏段及び第二車椅子用踏段と係合し、上昇運転時に傾斜車椅子用踏段の水平姿勢保持機構を解除・下降運転時に保持する。また、上昇運転時に第二車椅子用踏段の後述する上昇踏み板の上下移動保持機構を解除・下降運転時に保持し、また上昇下降運転時共に乗り込み台を突出・上昇下降運転時共に引退し、さらに上昇運転時に車止め片を突出・下降運転時に引退する。このため、それぞれの機能に対して一条のローラチェン10を要するので、図示が省略してあるが四条のローラチェン10が設けられている。
【0020】
801は主枠1内に設けられて上端3寄りに配置された上部上側仕掛装置で、電動機によって駆動されるクランク機構により構成されて動作する昇降装置9、昇降装置9に設けられて主枠1の長手と平行に配置され電動機によって駆動されるローラチェン10により係合機構を形成した第一駆動機構11によって構成されている。
【0021】
なお、上部上側仕掛装置801は後述する傾斜車椅子用踏段及び第一車椅子用踏段と係合し、下降運転時に傾斜車椅子用踏段の水平姿勢保持機構を解除・上昇運転時に保持する。また、下降運転時に第一車椅子用踏段の後述する連結腕を突出・上昇運転時に引退する。このため、それぞれの機能に対して一条のローラチェン10を要するので、図示が省略してあるが二条のローラチェン10が設けられている。
【0022】
1201は主枠1内に設けられて上端3寄りに配置されて上部上側仕掛装置801よりも主枠1下端2寄りに設けられた上部下側仕掛装置で、電動機によって駆動されるクランク機構により構成されて動作する昇降装置9、昇降装置9に設けられて主枠1の長手と平行に配置され電動機によって駆動されるローラチェン10により係合機構を形成した第二駆動機構13によって構成されている。
【0023】
なお、上部下側仕掛装置1201は後述する第二車椅子用踏段と係合し、下降運転時に第二車椅子用踏段の後述する上昇踏み板の上下移動保持機構を解除・上昇運転時に保持し、また下降運転時に車止め片を突出・上昇運転時に引退する。このため、それぞれの機能に対して一条のローラチェン10を要するので、図示が省略してあるが二条のローラチェン10が設けられている。
【0024】
14は搬送帯6の一部をなし踏段7の相互間に配置された傾斜車椅子用踏段で、要時に主枠1下端2側が下方へ傾斜する傾斜踏板からなる傾斜踏板可動機構15、傾斜踏板可動機構15に枢着されて主枠1に設けられた傾斜用レール16に支持される傾斜用ローラ17並びに車椅子の搬送時に主枠1下端2側の下部下側仕掛装置12に係合する正転ピニオン18及び車椅子の搬送時に主枠1上端3側の上部上側仕掛装置801に係合する逆転ピニオン19が設けられている。
【0025】
20は搬送帯6の一部をなし踏段7の相互間に配置された第一車椅子用踏段で、歯車機構からなり要時に上昇した下部上側仕掛装置8の第一駆動機構11等に係合して駆動される進退機構21が設けられて、この進退機構21によりラック機構を介して主枠1の下端側へ突出変位する連結腕からなる連結腕可動機構22が装備されて、傾斜車椅子用踏段14の主枠1下端2側に配置されている。
【0026】
23は搬送帯6の一部をなし踏段7の相互間に設けられて第一車椅子用踏段20の主枠1の下端2側に配置された第二車椅子用踏段、24は第二車椅子用踏段23に設けられた上昇踏み板からなる上昇踏み板可動機構で、下部下側仕掛装置12の昇降装置9の動作によって第二車椅子用踏段23の基部から上昇位置に変位する。なお、上昇時した上昇踏み板可動機構24は、上昇踏み板可動機構24に設けられた支持孔25に第一車椅子用踏段20の連結腕可動機構22が突出して嵌合することによって支持されて、第一車椅子用踏段20の踏み板面位置に配置される。
【0027】
26は上昇踏み板24の主枠1下端2側に設けられた車止め片からなる車止め片可動機構で、ラック機構が設けられて常時は引退位置に配置され、歯車機構からなる伝動機構27が設けられて、この伝動機構27が上昇した下部下側仕掛装置12の第二駆動機構13等に係合して駆動され上方に突出する。
【0028】
28は上昇踏み板24に設けられた乗り込み台からなる乗り込み台可動機構で、ラック機構からなる伝動機構29が設けられて常時は引退位置に配置され、伝動機構29が上昇した下部下側仕掛装置12の第二駆動機構13等に係合して駆動され主枠1下端2側へ突出する。30は車椅子であり、第一車椅子用踏段20及び第二車椅子用踏段23を主要部として形成された車椅子積載面31に搭載されて搬送される。
【0029】
32は下部上側仕掛装置8、下部下側仕掛装置12、上部上側仕掛装置801、上部下側仕掛装置1201及び車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターの駆動機(図示しない)に接続された制御装置である。
なお、図2等に示す搬送面水平移動域Aは、搬送帯6の搬送面における主枠1の上端3側の乗降口4寄りに配置され、車椅子積載面31の主枠1の長手に沿う水平面長さよりも短く形成されている。
【0030】
上記のように構成された車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターにおいて、通常時には下部上側仕掛装置8の昇降装置9が図3に示すように、また下部下側仕掛装置12の昇降装置9が図4に示すように下降位置に配置され、また上部上側仕掛装置801、上部下側仕掛装置1201の昇降装置も下降位置に配置される。そして、この状態では下部上側仕掛装置8の第一駆動機構11、下部下側仕掛装置12の第二駆動機構13等が、図3、図4に示すように踏段7等のライザーに当たらず、また傾斜車椅子用踏段14の正転ピニオン18、逆転ピニオン19、第一車椅子用踏段20の進退機構21、第二車椅子用踏段23の伝動機構27,29に係合しない位置に配置される。
【0031】
また、傾斜車椅子用踏段14の傾斜踏板可動機構15は基部に対して水平位置に保持される。そして、第一車椅子用踏段20の連結腕可動機構22は引退位置に配置され、また、第二車椅子用踏段23の上昇踏み板可動機構24及び車止め片可動機構26は下降位置にそれぞれ配置され、乗り込み台可動機構28は引退位置に保持される。
【0032】
この状態で搬送帯6が主枠1内を循環運転されて踏段7、傾斜車椅子用踏段14、第一車椅子用踏段20及び第二車椅子用踏段23により一般乗客が搬送される。なお、搬送帯6の循環運転により第一車椅子用踏段20等の全部の踏段は、上昇運転の場合に下端2側の乗降口4から水平移動し、次いで傾斜角度が漸増する漸増傾斜移動する。
【0033】
次いで、一定傾斜角度による一定傾斜移動して上端3側の乗降口4に近づくと傾斜角度が漸減する漸減傾斜移動する。その後に上端3側の乗降口4へ水平移動して循環移動する。なお、下降運転のときには全部の踏段が上昇運転の場合と逆の順序で循環移動する。
【0034】
そして、車椅子30を上昇搬送する場合、すなわち車椅子30を下端2側の乗降口4から上端3側の乗降口4へ搬送するときには、車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターが車椅子用運転スイッチ(図示しない)により車椅子搬送運転に切り換えられる。これによって、制御装置32の動作によって下部下側仕掛装置12の昇降装置9が上昇し、かつ搬送帯6が低速で上昇運転される。そして、傾斜車椅子用踏段14が下部下側仕掛装置12の制動された第二駆動機構13の上を通過するときに、図3に示すように傾斜車椅子用踏段14の正転ピニオン18が第二駆動機構13に係合して駆動される。
【0035】
これによって、傾斜踏板可動機構15の水平姿勢保持が解除されて傾斜可能状態となる。次いで、第一車椅子用踏段20が漸増傾斜移動区域に移動して下部上側仕掛装置8に対向し、第二車椅子用踏段23が水平移動区域に配置されて下部下側仕掛装置12に対向した位置で停止する。
【0036】
この状態で、図4に示すように傾斜車椅子用踏段14は傾斜用レール16に傾斜用ローラ17が案内されて傾斜踏板可動機構15が傾斜する。また、第一車椅子用踏段20は漸増傾斜移動して第二車椅子用踏段23よりも上昇した位置に配置される。また、この状態において第二車椅子用踏段23の主枠1下端2側の踏段7は、乗降口4の櫛5から移動方向に沿う長さのほぼ30%が前進した状態に配置される。
【0037】
そして、図4に示す状態から下部下側仕掛装置12が上昇して第二車椅子用踏段23の上昇踏み板可動機構24が押し上げられて図5に示す状態となり、第一車椅子用踏段20の踏み板面と同じ高さに配置される。なお、上昇踏み板可動機構24は図示を省略するが第二車椅子用踏段23の基部に対して所定経路を経て上昇し、第一車椅子用踏段20に設けられたライザーとの間に一定の少ない空隙を形成した状態で変位動作する。
【0038】
なお、下部下側仕掛装置12が上昇して第二車椅子用踏段23の上昇踏み板可動機構24が押し上げられる前に、上昇踏み板可動機構24を第二車椅子用踏段23と一体にしている上下移動保持機構が下部下側仕掛装置12により解除される。
【0039】
次いで、図5に示す状態で下部上側仕掛装置8の第一駆動機構11の電動機が付勢され、第一駆動機構11に係合した第一車椅子用踏段20の進退機構21が駆動される。これにより、連結腕可動機構22が主枠1下端2側へ突出して第二車椅子用踏段23の支持孔25に嵌合して図6に示す状態となり、第一車椅子用踏段20の踏面と上昇踏み板可動機構24の上面とにより車椅子積載面31が形成される。
【0040】
そして、図6に示す状態で下部下側仕掛装置12の第二駆動機構13の電動機が付勢されて第二車椅子用踏段23の伝動機構29が駆動される。これにより、乗り込み台可動機構28が突出して対向した主枠1下端2側の櫛5に架橋されて図7に示す状態となる。
【0041】
次いで、形成された車椅子積載面31に下端2側の乗降口4から車椅子30が搭載され、その後に下部下側仕掛装置12の第二駆動機構13の電動機が付勢されて第二車椅子用踏段23の伝動機構27が駆動される。これにより、車止め片可動機構26が上方へ突出して図8に示す状態となり車止め片可動機構26により、車椅子積載面31に搭載された車椅子30の主枠1下端2方向への変位が阻止される。
【0042】
そして、下部下側仕掛装置12の第二駆動機構13の電動機が付勢されて第二車椅子用踏段23の伝動機構29が駆動される。これにより、乗り込み台可動機構28が引退して上昇踏み板可動機構24内に収納される。次いで、下部上側仕掛装置8及び下部下側仕掛装置12が下降して伝動機構27から離れた状態で、搬送帯6が制御装置32によって通常速度で上昇運転される。
【0043】
このようにして、上昇踏み板可動機構24と第一車椅子用踏段20の踏み面からなる車椅子積載面31が水平姿勢を保持して下端2側の乗降口4から水平移動し、次いで傾斜角度が漸増する漸増傾斜移動する。次いで、一定傾斜角度による一定傾斜移動して主枠1上端3側の乗降口4に近づくと傾斜角度が漸減する漸減傾斜移動する。
【0044】
そして、傾斜車椅子用踏段14は傾斜用レール16に傾斜用ローラ17が案内されて傾斜踏板可動機構15が水平姿勢に復帰して水平移動区域に移動する。次いで、主枠1上端3側乗降口4の櫛5の直下位置に配置された上部上側仕掛装置801に傾斜車椅子用踏段14が対向した位置で搬送帯6が停止状態となる。この状態で、車椅子積載面31から車椅子30が主枠1上端3側の乗降口4に降り立つ。
【0045】
そしてこの状態から、上部上側仕掛装置801の昇降装置9が上昇して図9に示す状態となり、上部上側仕掛装置801の第一駆動機構11に傾斜車椅子用踏段14の逆転ピニオン19に係合する。そして、上部上側仕掛装置801の第一駆動機構11が動作して逆転ピニオン19が駆動され、逆転ピニオン19の動作を介して傾斜踏板可動機構15が水平姿勢に保持される。なお、傾斜車椅子用踏段14の水平姿勢保持機構の保持は、エスカレーターの運転状態、すなわち搬送帯6の移動状態で行われる。
【0046】
次いで、上部上側仕掛装置801が下降して再度搬送帯6が低速で上昇運転方向へ移動し、上昇踏み板可動機構24は第二車椅子用踏段23の基部に対して下降する。そして、第一車椅子用踏段20が上部上側仕掛装置801に対向し、第二車椅子用踏段23が主枠1の上端3側の乗降口4寄りの搬送面水平移動域Aに移動して下部下側仕掛装置1201に対向した位置で停止する。この状態で、上部上側仕掛装置801及び下部下側仕掛装置1201が上昇し、上部上側仕掛装置801の第一駆動機構11が第一車椅子用踏段20の進退機構21に係合する。
【0047】
また、下部下側仕掛装置1201の第二駆動機構13が第二車椅子用踏段23の伝動機構27に係合して図10に示す状態となる。次いで、図10に示す状態から上部上側仕掛装置801の第一駆動機構11の動作により進退機構21が駆動されて連結腕可動機構22が引退し、第一車椅子用踏段20と第二車椅子用踏段23の結合が解除されて図11に示す状態となる。
【0048】
また、下部下側仕掛装置1201の第二駆動機構13の動作により伝動機構27が駆動されて車止め片可動機構26が引退する。そして、下部下側仕掛装置1201が下降して図12に示す状態となり、この状態から上部上側仕掛装置801が下降して車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターが通常運転に復帰する。なお、下部下側仕掛装置1201が下降する前に、上昇踏み板可動機構24を第二車椅子用踏段23と一体化している上下移動保持機構が下部下側仕掛装置1201により保持される。
【0049】
なお、以上は車椅子30を主枠1下端2側の乗降口4から上端3側の乗降口4へ上昇搬送する場合について説明した。これに対して、車椅子30を主枠1上端3側の乗降口4から下端2側の乗降口4へ下降搬送するときに、上部上側仕掛装置801、下部下側仕掛装置1201等の関連機器を、車椅子30の上昇搬送時とは逆に動作させる。これによって、詳細な説明を省略するが車椅子30の上昇搬送時と同様な作用を得ることができる。
【0050】
以上説明したように主枠1上端3側乗降口4において、櫛5の直下位置に配置された上部上側仕掛装置801によって傾斜車椅子用踏段14の傾斜踏板可動機構15が水平姿勢に保持される。次いで、第一車椅子用踏段20及び第二車椅子用踏段23が主枠1の上端3側の乗降口4寄りの搬送面水平移動域Aに移動し、上部上側仕掛装置801、下部下側仕掛装置1201の動作によって、それぞれの連結腕可動機構22、車止め片可動機構26が引退する。
【0051】
また、車椅子積載面31は、主枠1上端3側乗降口4寄りに形成された車椅子積載面31の主枠1の長手に沿う水平面長さよりも短い搬送面水平移動域Aにおいて形成される。これにより、主枠1の上端部の搬送帯の搬送面水平移動区域を標準エスカレーターに匹敵した長さにすることができる。したがって、主枠1端部の水平移動部分が短い標準形のエスカレーターを、主枠1端部の支持体相互の間隔を広げる工事を要することなく容易に車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターに改造することができる。
【0052】
また、図1〜図12の実施の形態において、制御装置32によって下部上側仕掛装置8及び車止め片可動機構26に係合することにより駆動される傾斜車椅子用踏段14の傾斜踏板可動機構15の動作時にも、搬送帯6が低速移動するので車椅子搬送運転を能率化することができる。

実施の形態2.
図13〜図23は、この発明の他の実施の形態の一例を示す図で、図13は車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターの概念的側面図、図14は車椅子搬送状況を示す図13の要部拡大図、図15は図13の主枠の下端側における車椅子搬送の第一状況を説明する図、図16は図15における車椅子搬送の第二状況を説明する図、図17は図15における車椅子搬送の第三状況を説明する図、図18は図15における車椅子搬送の第四状況を説明する図である。

図19は図13の主枠の上端側における車椅子搬送の第一状況を説明する図、図20は図19における車椅子搬送の第二状況を説明する図、図21は図19における車椅子搬送の第三状況を説明する図、図22は図19における車椅子搬送の第四状況を説明する図、図23は図19における車椅子搬送の第五状況を説明する図である。
【0055】
図において、前述の図1〜図12と同符号は相当部分を示し、80は下部仕掛装置で、主枠1内に設けられて下端2側の櫛5寄り配置されている。81は上部仕掛装置で、主枠1内に設けられて上端3側の櫛5の下側に配置されている。200は搬送帯6の一部をなす中間車椅子用踏段で、第一車椅子用踏段20及び第二車椅子用踏段23の相互間に配置され、歯車機構からなり要時に上昇した下部仕掛装置80の駆動機構11等に係合して駆動される進退機構210が設けられて、この進退機構210によりラック機構を介して主枠1の下端側へ突出変位する連結腕からなる中間連結腕可動機構220が装備されている。
【0056】
240は中間車椅子用踏段200に設けられた上昇踏み板からなる中間上昇踏み板機構で、中間上昇踏み板機構240に設けられた支持孔25に、第一車椅子用踏段20の連結腕可動機構22が突出して嵌合することによって支持されて、第一車椅子用踏段20の踏み板面位置に配置される。
【0057】
また、中間連結腕可動機構220は、下部仕掛装置80の駆動機構11等の動作により進退機構210を介して突出し、第二車椅子用踏段23の上昇踏み板可動機構24の支持孔25に嵌合して、上昇踏み板可動機構24の踏み面を中間上昇踏み板機構240の踏み面位置に保持する。
310は車椅子積載面で、第一車椅子用踏段20、中間車椅子用踏段200及び第二車椅子用踏段23により形成される。
【0058】
上記のように構成された車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターにおいて、通常時には下部仕掛装置80、上部仕掛装置81の昇降装置9が下降位置に配置される。そして、この状態においては下部仕掛装置80の駆動機構11等が、踏段7等のライザーに当たらず、また第一車椅子用踏段20等の正転ピニオン18、逆転ピニオン19に係合しない位置に配置される。
【0059】
また、第一車椅子用踏段20の連結腕可動機構22、中間車椅子用踏段200の中間連結腕可動機構220及び第二車椅子用踏段23の車止め片可動機構26はそれぞれ引退位置に配置される。また、中間車椅子用踏段200の中間上昇踏み板機構240及び第二車椅子用踏段23の上昇踏み板可動機構24はそれぞれ下降位置にそれぞれ配置される。
【0060】
この状態で搬送帯6が主枠1内を循環運転されて踏段7、第一車椅子用踏段20、中間車椅子用踏段200及び第二車椅子用踏段23により一般乗客が搬送される。なお、搬送帯6の循環運転により第一車椅子用踏段20等の全部の踏段は、上昇運転の場合に下端2側の乗降口4から水平移動し、次いで傾斜角度が漸増する漸増傾斜移動する。
【0061】
次いで、一定傾斜角度による一定傾斜移動して上端3側の乗降口4に近づくと傾斜角度が漸減する漸減傾斜移動する。その後に上端3側の乗降口4へ水平移動して循環移動する。なお、下降運転のときには全部の踏段が上昇運転の場合と逆の順序で循環移動する。
【0062】
そして、車椅子30を上昇搬送する場合、すなわち車椅子30を下端2側の乗降口4から上端3側の乗降口4へ搬送するときには、車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターが車椅子用運転スイッチ(図示しない)により車椅子搬送運転に切り換えられる。これによって、制御装置32の動作により第一車椅子用踏段20が主枠1下端2側の櫛5の下側に対応した状態において搬送帯6が低速で上昇搬送方向へ運転される。また、制御装置32の動作により下部仕掛装置80の昇降装置9が上昇すると共に駆動機構11が制動される。
【0063】
そして、低速移動する第一車椅子用踏段20の進退機構21に設けられた正転ピニオン18が、下部仕掛装置80の駆動機構11に係合して駆動される。これにより、連結腕可動機構22が主枠1下端2側へ突出して中間車椅子用踏段200の支持孔25に嵌合して図15に示す状態となる。
【0064】
さらに、搬送帯6の低速上昇搬送方向運転により中間車椅子用踏段200の進退機構210に設けられた正転ピニオン18が、下部仕掛装置80の駆動機構11に係合して駆動される。これにより、中間連結腕可動機構220が主枠1下端2側へ突出して第二車椅子用踏段23の支持孔25に嵌合して図16に示す状態となる。なお、中間連結腕可動機構220が主枠1下端2側へ突出すると同時に、中間上昇踏み板機構240を中間車椅子用踏段200と一体化している上下移動保持機構(図示しない)が下部仕掛装置80により解除される。
【0065】
次いで、さらに搬送帯6が低速で上昇搬送方向に運転されて、第二車椅子用踏段23の車止め片可動機構26が主枠1下端2側の櫛5から主枠1の中間側へ露出した状態で、搬送帯6が停止状態となり図17に示すように配置される。そして、図17に示す状態では、第一車椅子用踏段20、中間車椅子用踏段200の中間上昇踏み板機構240及び第二車椅子用踏段23の上昇踏み板可動機構24が第一車椅子用踏段20の連結腕可動機構22及び中間車椅子用踏段200の中間連結腕可動機構220によって連結される。
【0066】
これによって、第一車椅子用踏段20、中間車椅子用踏段200及び第二車椅子用踏段23により車椅子積載面310が形成される。そして、図17に示す状態で、下端2側の乗降口4から車椅子30が形成された車椅子積載面310に搭載される。次いで、搬送帯6が上昇搬送方向に運転されて第二車椅子用踏段23の移動により、第二車椅子用踏段23の伝動機構27に設けられた正転ピニオン18が、下部仕掛装置80の駆動機構11に係合して駆動される。
【0067】
これにより、第二車椅子用踏段23の車止め片可動機構26が上方へ突出して図18に示す状態となり、車止め片可動機構26によって車椅子積載面310に搭載された車椅子30の主枠1下端2方向への変位が阻止される。次いで、下部仕掛装置80が下降して搬送帯6が通常速度で上昇搬送方向に運転される。
【0068】
そして、第一車椅子用踏段20の漸増傾斜移動及び一定傾斜移動時に、第一車椅子用踏段20の連結腕可動機構22、中間車椅子用踏段200の中間連結腕可動機構220によって車椅子積載面310が維持されて上昇搬送方向に移動する。なお、車止め片可動機構26が上方へ突出すると同時に、上昇踏み板可動機構24を第二車椅子用踏段23と一体化している上下移動保持機構(図示しない)が下部仕掛装置80により解除される。
【0069】
次いで、第一車椅子用踏段20等が主枠1上端3側の乗降口4に近づくと傾斜角度が漸減する漸減傾斜移動して主枠1上端3側の水平移動区域に移動し、また、上部仕掛装置81の駆動機構11が上昇して図19に示す状態となる。そして、主枠1上端3側乗降口4の櫛5の直下位置に配置された上部仕掛装置81に第一車椅子用踏段20が対向した状態で搬送帯6が停止状態となる。
【0070】
これにより、図19に示す状態で車椅子積載面310から車椅子30が主枠1上端3側の乗降口4に降り立つ。次いで、制御装置32の動作によって搬送帯6が低速で上昇搬送方向に運転されて、移動する第一車椅子用踏段20の進退機構21に設けられた逆転ピニオン19が、上部仕掛装置81の上昇して制動された駆動機構11に係合して図20に示す状態となる。そして、搬送帯6の上昇搬送方向への低速移動によって進退機構21が駆動されて、連結腕可動機構22が第一車椅子用踏段20内に引退して図21に示す状態となる。
【0071】
これにより、連結腕可動機構22による中間車椅子用踏段200の中間上昇踏み板機構240の結合が解除される。そして、さらに搬送帯6が低速で上昇搬送方向に運転されて、移動する中間車椅子用踏段200の進退機構210に設けられた逆転ピニオン19が、上部仕掛装置81の上昇して制動された駆動機構11に係合する。
【0072】
そして、図21に示す状態において搬送帯6の低速での上昇搬送方向移動によって進退機構210が駆動されて、中間連結腕可動機構220が中間車椅子用踏段200内に引退する。なお、中間連結腕可動機構220が中間車椅子用踏段200内に引退すると同時に、上昇踏み板可動機構24を中間車椅子用踏段200と一体化している上下移動保持機構(図示しない)が下部仕掛装置80により解除される。
【0073】
そして、さらに搬送帯6が低速で上昇搬送方向に運転されて、移動する第二車椅子用踏段23の伝動機構27に設けられた逆転ピニオン19が、上部仕掛装置81の上昇して制動された駆動機構11に係合し図22に示す状態において、搬送帯6の上昇搬送方向移動によって伝動機構27が駆動されて、車止め片可動機構26が第二車椅子用踏段23内に引退して図23に示す状態となる。なお、車止め片可動機構26が第二車椅子用踏段23内に引退すると同時に、上昇踏み板可動機構24を第二車椅子用踏段23と一体化している上下移動保持機構(図示しない)が下部仕掛装置80により解除される。
【0074】
次いで、上部仕掛装置81の駆動機構11が下降して車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターが通常運転に復帰する。
なお、以上は車椅子30を主枠1下端2側の乗降口4から上端3側の乗降口4へ上昇搬送する場合について説明した。これに対して、車椅子30を主枠1上端3側の乗降口4から下端2側の乗降口4へ下降搬送するときに、下部仕掛装置80等の関連機器を、車椅子30の上昇搬送時とは逆に動作させる。このようにして、詳細な説明を省略するが車椅子30の上昇搬送時と同様な作用を得ることができる。
【0075】
以上説明したように主枠1上端3側乗降口4において、搬送帯6の上昇搬送方向移動により櫛5の直下位置に配置された上部仕掛装置81によって、第一車椅子用踏段20の連結腕可動機構22が引退し、次いで中間車椅子用踏段200の中間連結腕可動機構220が引退して車椅子積載面310の結合が解除される。その後に上部仕掛装置81によって車止め片可動機構26が第二車椅子用踏段23内に引退する。
【0076】
そして、車椅子積載面310の結合解除動作、第二車椅子用踏段23の車止め片可動機構26の引退動作は、主枠1上端3側乗降口4寄りに形成された車椅子積載面310の主枠1の長手に沿う水平面長さよりも短い搬送面水平移動域Aにおいて行われる。したがって、主枠1の上端部の搬送帯の水平移動区域を標準エスカレーターに匹敵した長さにすることができる。これにより、主枠1端部の水平移動部分が短い標準形のエスカレーターを、主枠1端部の支持体相互の間隔を広げる工事を要することなく容易に車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターに改造することができる。
【0077】
なお、図13〜図23の実施の形態において、制御装置23によって下部仕掛装置80に係合することによって駆動される第一車椅子用踏段20の連結腕可動機構22及び中間車椅子用踏段200の中間連結腕可動機構220等の動作時にも、搬送帯6が低速移動するので車椅子搬送運転を能率化することができる。
【0078】
【発明の効果】
この発明は以上説明したように、下端及び上端にそれぞれ乗降口が形成されたエスカレーターの主枠と、多数の踏段が無端状に連結されて傾斜した主枠内を循環移動する搬送帯と、上記主枠の下端側へ突出変位する連結腕からなる連結腕可動機構が設けられて車椅子積載面を形成する第一車椅子用踏段と、この第一車椅子用踏段の上記主枠の下端側に配置されて突出した上記連結腕可動機構に支持される上昇踏み板からなる上昇踏み板可動機構が設けられて上記車椅子積載面を形成する第二車椅子用踏段と、上記第一車椅子用踏段の上記主枠の上端側に配置されて要時に上記主枠下端側が下方へ傾斜する傾斜踏板からなる傾斜踏板可動機構が設けられた傾斜車椅子用踏段と、上記主枠内の下端部寄りに配置され、常時は上記各車椅子用踏段の各可動機構に係合しない位置に保持されて、要時に移動し、上記主枠の下端部における搬送帯の水平移動域で上記傾斜車椅子用踏段及び第二車椅子用踏段の各駆動機構に係合し、上記傾斜車椅子用踏段及び第二車椅子用踏段の各駆動機構 を動作させる下部下側仕掛装置と、上記主枠内の下端部寄りでかつ上記下部下側仕掛装置の上側に配置され、常時は上記各車椅子用踏段の各可動機構に係合しない位置に保持されて、要時に移動し、上記主枠の下端部における搬送帯の水平移動域で上記第一車椅子用踏段の駆動機構に係合し、上記第一車椅子用踏段の駆動機構を動作させる下部上側仕掛装置と、上記主枠内の上端部寄りに配置され、常時は上記各車椅子用踏段の各可動機構に係合しない位置に保持されて、要時に移動し、上記主枠の上端部における搬送帯の水平移動域で上記第二車椅子用踏段の可動機構に係合し、上記第二車椅子用踏段の可動機構を動作させる上部下側仕掛装置と、上記主枠内の上端側乗降口の櫛の直下位置でかつ上記上部下側仕掛装置の上側に配置され、常時は上記各車椅子用踏段の各可動機構に係合しない位置に保持されて、要時に移動し、上記主枠の上端部における搬送帯の水平移動域で上記傾斜車椅子用踏段及び第一車椅子用踏段の各駆動機構に係合し、上記傾斜車椅子用踏段及び第一車椅子用踏段の各駆動機構を動作させる上部上側仕掛装置とを備え、上記搬送帯の搬送面における上記主枠の上端側乗降口寄りに配置される搬送面水平移動域が、車椅子積載面の上記主枠の長手に沿う水平面長さよりも短く形成されるようにしたものである。
【0079】
これによって、搬送帯の搬送面における主枠上端側の乗降口寄りに配置されて、第一車椅子用踏段及び第二車椅子用踏段により形成された車椅子積載面の主枠の長手に沿う水平面長さよりも短い搬送帯の搬送面水平移動域において、車椅子積載面を形成した車椅子用踏段の可動機構が仕掛装置によって引退する。そして、主枠上端部の搬送帯の搬送面水平移動区域が短くなることによって、主枠端部の支持体相互の間隔を特に広げることなく車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターを設置でき車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターの設置を容易化する効果がある。
【0080】
また、この発明は以上説明したように、仕掛装置との係合による車椅子用踏段の可動機構の動作時に搬送帯を低速移動させる制御装置を設けたものである。
【0081】
これによって、車椅子用踏段の可動機構の動作時にも搬送帯が移動するので、車椅子搬送運転を能率化する効果がある。
【0082】
また、この発明は以上説明したように、仕掛装置を主枠上端側乗降口の床板下面に対応した位置に設置し、かつ床板下面において仕掛装置により車椅子用踏段の可動機構を引退及び突出動作させる制御装置を設けたものである。
【0083】
これによって、搬送帯の搬送面における主枠上端側の乗降口寄りに配置されて、第一車椅子用踏段及び第二車椅子用踏段により形成された車椅子積載面の主枠の長手に沿う水平面長さよりも短く形成された搬送帯の搬送面水平移動域において、車椅子積載面を形成した車椅子用踏段の可動機構が、主枠上端側乗降口の床板下面に対応した位置に設置された仕掛装置によって引退する。そして、主枠上端部の搬送帯の搬送面水平移動区域が一層短くなるので、主枠端部の支持体相互の間隔を特に広げることなく車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターを設置でき車椅子用踏段付エスカレーターの設置を容易化する効果がある。
【0084】
また、この発明は以上説明したように、第一車椅子用踏段及び第二車椅子用踏段により主枠上端側乗降口寄りに車椅子積載面を形成すると共に、傾斜車椅子用踏段の傾斜踏板可動機構の主枠上端側の一部が主枠上端側乗降口の床板下面に対応した状態で、搬送帯を停止させる制御装置を設けたものである。
【0085】
これによって、主枠上端側の乗降口寄りに第一車椅子用踏段及び第二車椅子用踏段により形成された車椅子積載面並びに乗降口の床板から露出した傾斜踏板可動機構の一部からなる平面に対して車椅子を乗降させることができる。このため、車椅子の乗降スペースに余裕ができ車椅子の乗降を容易化する効果がある。
【0086】
