Description

  The present invention relates to an escalator in which a level difference occurs in a passenger mounting body in an inclined section and a passenger conveyor facility such as an electric road in which no level difference occurs in the passenger mounting body.

  As shown in Patent Document 1, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, a passenger conveyor facility provided with a loudspeaker is equipped with a loudspeaker to guide or alert a passenger, and these have already been put into practical use. ing.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-116088

  Since the conventional passenger conveyor equipment has a loudspeaker installed in the railing, there is some service for passengers. However, for example, if a passenger conveyor is installed in a station building where many people come and go, guidance and warning broadcasts are erased due to noise in the surrounding area, and not only passengers approaching the loudspeaker but also away from the loudspeaker It was not effective for passengers. Therefore, it was also considered to increase the volume of the loudspeaker to face the surrounding noise, but raising the volume only has an effect near the loudspeaker and not much for passengers walking to the boarding / exiting floor. It was confirmed.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a passenger conveyor facility equipped with a loudspeaker capable of clearly transmitting broadcast contents to a passenger who intends to use a passenger conveyor or a passenger just before getting into a passenger-mounted body. .

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention installs a first loudspeaker on a guide fence installed in the vicinity of a passenger floor and guides a passenger, and a second loudspeaker on a railing near the passenger floor, The first and second loudspeakers are constructed of loudspeakers having directivity in a direction opposite to the passengers heading to the passenger mounted body.

  With this configuration, the broadcast content can be clearly communicated to passengers who use the passenger conveyor and passengers just before boarding, and there is noise in the surroundings by using a directional loudspeaker. However, the broadcast contents can be accurately transmitted only to passengers who want to use the passenger conveyor or passengers just before boarding.

  Hereinafter, one embodiment of passenger conveyor equipment according to the present invention will be described based on the electric road shown in FIGS.

  The electric road 1 includes a plurality of stepboards (passenger mounted bodies) 2 connected in an endless manner and circulated, boarding / exiting floors 3 provided on both ends of the stepping board 2 in the moving direction, and the stepping boards 2 and the boarding / exiting floors 3. A balustrade 4 erected along both sides, and a moving handrail 5 guided along the periphery of the balustrade 4 and driven synchronously with the tread plate 2 are provided.

  On the other hand, on the structure floor 6 that is flush with the boarding / alighting floor 3, a guide fence 7 that guides the passenger M to the boarding / alighting floor 3 is installed. The column 8 on the side of the guide fence 7 facing the passenger M heading toward the boarding / exiting floor 3 is formed in a hollow shape, and a large number of pores 9 are provided on the side facing the passenger M heading toward the boarding / exiting floor 3. It has been.

  And in the said support | pillar 8, the 1st loudspeaker 10 which has directivity in the direction facing the passenger M which goes to the boarding / alighting floor 3 is incorporated. The first loudspeaker 10 includes a diaphragm 11, a plurality of vibration coils 12 attached to the diaphragm 11, and a frame 13 that supports the periphery of the diaphragm 11. By exciting the vibration coil 12 of the first loudspeaker 10 thus configured through an amplifier (not shown), the diaphragm 11 vibrates and can be caused to produce a sound in a direction perpendicular to the diaphragm 11. It can be set as the 1st loudspeaker 10 which has the directivity which can be performed.

  On the other hand, a second loudspeaker 14 having the same configuration as the first loudspeaker 10 having directivity with respect to the passenger immediately before boarding is provided at a position facing the vicinity of the boarding / exiting floor 3 of the balustrade 4. It has been. Specifically, the second loudspeaker 14 is built inside the balustrade panel constituting the balustrade 4.

  By configuring as described above, since the first loudspeaker 10 is directed to the passenger M heading toward the motorized road 1, the broadcast content can be clearly communicated to the passenger M, and therefore the passenger Can improve the broadcasting service. In addition, since the direction of the first loudspeaker 10 is made to coincide with the direction toward the passenger M, the contents of the broadcast can be clearly transmitted to the passenger M who is away even if there is noise around the electric road 1. Can do. Therefore, it is not necessary to increase the volume of the first loudspeaker 10 with respect to ambient noise, and since the broadcast is directional, the broadcast content does not become noise for passengers M passers-by. Moreover, since the second loudspeaker 14 can broadcast directional broadcast contents to passengers just before getting on the tread board 2 from the boarding / exiting floor 3, it can broadcast accurately without increasing the volume even with ambient noise. Can convey the contents.

  Moreover, although the electric road was demonstrated to an example as a passenger conveyor, it cannot be overemphasized that it can apply also to an escalator.

  In addition, the first loudspeaker 10 including the diaphragm 11, the vibration coil 12, and the frame 13 has been described. However, a normal cone loudspeaker or the like may be used as long as the loudspeaker has directivity.

The schematic side view which shows the boarding / alighting floor vicinity of the passenger conveyor equipment by this invention. The perspective view which shows the loudspeaker installed in the support | pillar of FIG.
