Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、車椅子利用者が係員のいないエスカレータに一人で乗り込むことができるエスカレータ装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般の健常者が利用する場合には通常のエスカレータとして動作し、車椅子利用者が利用する場合には車椅子を搬送可能な構造に変態するエスカレータが利用されている。このようなエスカレータにおいては、通常運転の場合と車椅子運転の場合とで運転モードの切換が必要となるが、従来は人間系によるスイッチ操作が一般的であり、車椅子を搬送する場合は、操作をある程度熟知した係員に頼らなければならなかった。
近年、特開平4−235892号公報に示されるように、エスカレータの乗口近傍に、車椅子が到着したことを検出する検出手段を設け、車椅子が安全に搬送できるように、案内放送により誘導し、車椅子利用者が車椅子運転による利用を修了すると、出口の検出手段の出力により自動的に通常運転に復帰するようにして、係員がいなくても運行できるようにしたものが提案されている。
このようにすると、操作に熟知した係員の手間を必要とせず、車椅子利用者の介添え者もしくは、周囲の通行人の介添えだけで利用可能となり、エスカレータのスムーズな運行が可能となる。
【0003】
