Detailed Description of the Invention

Industrial application fields

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a passenger conveyor that moves in a horizontal direction or an inclined direction by carrying personnel such as an escalator or an electric road.

It is only a simple movement that moves almost linearly or rotates up in the same direction as a spiral staircase, and the return path of the outbound direction is reversed and it is made to travel under the outbound path, so half of the process is wasted Become part

Problems to be solved by the invention

Conventional linear, rotation only in the same direction can be moved to any horizontal direction to any height, because it bends in the left and right horizontal direction, rubber soft 1 rubber to absorb the horizontal difference between the left and right A part of the two hard 2 layers are fixed by fixing bolts 14, 14 ', 14 "...

These bolts 14, 14 ′, 14 ″,... Fix only the rubber rigid 2 to the cross beam 51. This allows a part of the rubber soft 1 to slide on the rubber rigid 2 to absorb the stroke difference. Moreover, the vertical inclination of the height difference is solved by bending the large wire 53 and the small wire 54.

The driving force is determined by the driving wheels 9, 9 ′, 9 ″, 10 ′, 10 ″, 11, 11 ′, 11 ″, etc. arranged in the traveling direction below the sidewalk. The structure can be freely formed.

The drive wheels 9, 10, 9, 11 provided in the groove portion are a pair and rotate in the same direction and at the same speed. With this structure, the rubber soft 1 is mounted in a predetermined arbitrary direction. Rubber rigid 2 block C52 wire large 53 wire small 54 moves in a band shape

Current moving sidewalks can only move in a straight line because they are too complex to be used. Furthermore, not only horizontal bends but also up and down inclinations are necessary, so force distribution is not sufficient, which always leads to tearing of the sidewalk and failure, and if it becomes longer, the necessary horsepower needs thousands of horsepower .

It was thought that it was difficult to average these large horsepowers to prevent sidewalk tearing. However, the present invention maintains strength by the strength member block C52 wire large 53 wire small 54, and between the cross beams 51 Compensates for gap distortion with rubber hard 2 rubber soft 1

Since the weight of the long sidewalk is several tens tons, and the method of transmitting the moving force from the outside has been taken, the rubber belt itself does not need strength in particular, it is a structure that supports only the load of people on the top. good.

Since the sidewalks so far convey the movement force at one place, the rubber belt needed to have the strength to pull the entire weight. In order to convey the movement force from the outside at each place, the rubber rigid 2 is used as a loading load. Only the proof stress is required, and the movement is performed by the drive wheels 9, 9 ′, 9 ″, 10, 10 ′, 11, 11′11 ″.

Structure of the moving part of the first embodiment

While looking at (first to 5-1), the sidewalk is a rubber soft 1 underneath and two rubber hards 2 under the soft soft 1 and continues in the direction of travel for a long time. In Figure 1, people gather from residential areas and housing estates to the station. Therefore, you can get on the sidewalk from anywhere.

At both ends, there are direction changing portions 31, 31 '. Since this changes the direction to return from the trip, it is necessary to draw a circle with a minimum radius.
In this figure, there are direction changing portions 31, 31 'at two ends. Naturally, there are two rubber connecting portions 32 and 32 ′ in the cut of the rubber soft 1 rubber hard 2.

This not only adjusts the length of the rubber, but also replaces it when it gets older. Also, if we say that the rubber soft 1 and the rubber hard 2 are overlapped, there are distortions on the outside and inside of the curved part.
The rubber soft 1 slides on the rubber hard 2 and the central part of the rubber hard 2 is fixed so as to cancel each other's strain, but the rubber soft 1 is zigzag only with fixing bolts 14, 14 ', 14 "at both ends. Fix rubber rigid 2. Rubber rigid 2 and cross beams 51 and 51 'are fixed, but rubber soft 1 and cross beams 51 and 51' are not in contact with each other. While moving.

As a result, the rubber soft 1 is shortened, and there is no gap opening. Under the rubber hard 2, there are cross beam 51, 51 ′, 51 ″,. It is fixed with bolts 15.

Under the beam mounting portion 56, the block C52 has a quadrangular shape, and a central portion is vacant, which is stacked in the traveling direction and has a sufficiently strong structure. Large wire 53 small wire 54 penetrates. It penetrates the whole process.

Of course, the rubber connection portions 32 and 32 ′ have wire connection portions 33 and 33 ′, which are not shown in the drawing, but have various adjustment methods.
What is important is that the force in the traveling direction is handled by the large wire, the small 53 and 54, and the block 52, and the cross beam 51 is in the direction perpendicular to the traveling direction.

In the block C52, the thickness of the quadrangle is about one-tenth of one side of the quadrangle and is independent of each other, and tens of thousands of them are stacked in the traveling direction.
Although the block C52 is a rectangular hollow, it may be divided into two, and it may be fixed to the cross beam 51 beam mounting portion 56 with the fixing bolt 15.

The large wire 53 and the small wire 54 are usually commercially available, but the first embodiment is used to mix the thicknesses appropriately so as not to make a gap inside the block C52. Because there are fewer parts, the force on the wire is very large.
The block C52 is moved while being sandwiched between drive wheels 9, 9 ', 9 ", 10, 10', 11, 11 ', 11" that advance all of the above loads.

Non-moving part structure

Grooves are dug in the entire path of the moving sidewalk, and the drive wheels 9, 9 ', 9 "... 11, 11' ... are lined up in three rows in the direction of travel. Further, there are outer frames 19 on both outer sides, and guide wheels 50, 50 ',.

These are all parallel to the circumscribed surface of the drive wheels 9, 9 ′, 11, 11 ′, 11 ″, and the widths of the left and right outer frames 19, 19 ′ are equal to the width of the rubber rigid 2. The width of the right rail shelf 18 and the left rail 18 ', which are slightly overlapped with each other, is such that the right wheel 30 and the left wheel 30' are placed on the width structure.

It has become. Although everything is made horizontally, the outer frame 19 on the outer side of the curved portion is slightly higher in height than the inner outer frame 19 ', and the right rail shelf 18 and the left rail shelf 18' are also slightly higher on the outer rail shelf 18 '. This is to prevent the passenger from falling due to the centrifugal force, and the rubber hard 2 rubber soft 1 similarly advances with an inclination.

It is considered that the upper side of the rubber soft 1 moves while rubbing the lower side of the outer frame 19. The overlapping part with the outer frames 19 and 19 'is considerably removed so that the passenger's foot does not enter. This also considers the amount of shrinkage due to the bending of the rubber soft 1.

The power source 12 must rotate all the drive wheels 9, 9 ′,..., 11 ′, but some of the drive wheels 9, 9 ′, 11, 11 ′ are turned around. Lined up so as not to leave a gap to prevent derailment

The longitudinal guide wheels 50, 50 ', 50 "... Are not driven at all, and the entire process of the moving sidewalk provided to prevent the rubber soft 1 from falling off is far from the station as shown in FIG. It is possible to go in. Reverse the direction with a minimum turning radius at a remote place and return to the original direction

Passengers get in and out of the station, but there is a considerable difference in elevation between the station and the remotest place. However, there is no problem as long as it is less than the minimum turning radius, and the minimum radius is determined by the gap between the block C52 and the cross beam 51.

Description of the first embodiment

Go all the way back, go out on the ground, move the whole line with rubber soft 1 rubber hard 2 piled up. If a large number of people ride at the same time, great strength is required, but this example is drawn assuming that the width is about 2 meters.

The feature of the present invention is that driving wheels 9, 9 ', 10, 10', 11, 11 ', 11 "are laid all over the line in order to lighten moving objects. Power is transmitted.
A part of the drive wheels 9 ′, 10 ′, 11 ′ also includes a derailment prevention portion that idles without a drive source.

All drive wheels 9, 9 ', 10, 10' ... 11, 11 ', 11 "... are rotating in the same direction and at the same speed, but the rubber rigid 2 is still generally distorted .

Because there are places that shrink, and there are places that are too stretched, it is necessary to stick the extensometers 57, 57 '... to the rubber rigid 2.

Where it shrinks, it needs a system that accelerates and partially slows down where it stretches too much. A wireless signal is transmitted from the extensometer, and the computer connected to the drive source 12 receives and accelerates or decelerates. The conventional moving walkway that incorporates this system controls only the drive source in one place.
Other belts and chains are simply doing transmission work.

Although the present invention is only drawn after the chain, the drive wheels 9, 10, and 11 are arranged in three rows and are spread over the entire line.

On the outside, vertical guide wheels 50, 50 ', etc. are provided, but this structure is made so that the moving rubber soft 1 rubber hard 2 is as light as possible, and the two rubber rubber slides However, the fixing bolts 15 are arranged in a small and random manner so that the strain is not transmitted.

The rubber soft 1 is considerably stretched from the beginning. Therefore, if it has to be shrunk, it will not undulate when it must be, and the passenger's load from above will be received by the rubber rigid 2 and the cross beams 51, 51 ', 51 " Is held.

If a large number of passengers are to be transported, the rubber beams 1, 51 ′, 51 ″ must be provided long and with a large amount of rubber soft 1 rubber hard 2 piled up to withstand heavy loads.

The good point of this invention is that both the outbound route and the return route can go out on the ground and passengers can ride, so if the number of parts is reduced, the underground facility can be small at the same time. Both FIG. 4 and FIG. 9 are drawn large and drawn, but there are many ways to make the groove small.

Also, the large wire 53 and the small wire 54 always require several connecting portions, but are provided with connecting portions with a length adjusting function with screws, where the wires are brazed and welded (several places). The reason why the large-diameter wire and the large-diameter wire 54 are mixed together is because of the strength, so if you want to make it cheaply, you can use a large number of small-diameter wires.

This chain of blocks C52 is also very attractive in the action of transmitting the pushing force, which is characterized by being larger than the total force of the large and small wires 53 and 54.

Further, the weight of the passenger is also applied to the wheels 30 and 30 ′ fixed to the cross beam 51.

Second embodiment

Structure of moving parts

The major difference from the first embodiment is that the block A3 and the block B4 are linked and connected by the pin 5 instead of using the wire large and small 5354.

Spherical bushes 6 are respectively fitted to the pins 5 (see FIG. 13-1), and by their action, they not only swing left and right but also tilt up and down. Therefore, the hinge portions of the front block 26 and the block 27 have a considerable margin in the vertical direction. Thus, even if it is tilted up and down sufficiently, it can be used.

(See FIGS. 13-2 to 13-4) The first transverse beam 20, the second transverse beam 21, the third transverse beam 22, and the fourth transverse beam 23 are directed forward and backward, and are further symmetrical with respect to the central axis. To do. The central block body 25 has parallel walls on both the left and right sides, and is moved between the drive wheels 9, 9 '.

The block protrusion 29 is provided to prevent the wheel from being removed from the drive wheels 9, 9 '. Rubber rigid 2 exists in the upper part of block A3 block B4. Rubber soft 1 is put on this upper part. The difference from the first embodiment is that both ends of rubber soft 1 are made much wider than rubber hard 2

Both ends thereof are drawn into the lower side of the transverse beam 24 in a long winding form, and a pulling rubber 7 is attached to the tip thereof and fixed to the rubber fixing bolt 17.

These drawn rubber softs 1 are pulled greatly when the trajectory of the sidewalk is winding, but they are not turned because of the margin on the back side. Since the rubber soft 1 expands and contracts, roller bearings 88 ′ are provided at both ends of the cross beams 24, 24 ′, and wheels 30, 30 ′ are provided at the lower part, and the lower surface thereof is on the upper surface of the rail shelf 18. The structure of the non-moving part is the same in the first embodiment, the second, and the third brother.

Description of the second embodiment

The shape of the cross beams 24, 24 'is characteristic (see FIGS. 8 and 9). Basically, the first transverse beam 20, the younger brother 2 transverse beam 21, the third transverse beam 22, and the younger brother 4 transverse beam 23 are provided from the outside.

Since there are the adjacent first, second, and third transverse beams 20, 21, and 22 of the block B4, they are constructed so that they do not come into contact with each other. The moving angle has a limit, and this determines the minimum bend radius. The first transverse beam 20 of the adjacent block B4 is sandwiched between the first transverse beam 20 and the second transverse beam 21 of the block A3, and the second of the block B4 is similarly interposed between the second transverse beam 21 and the third transverse beam 23. A horizontal beam is inserted

These are all made so that the passenger's load rides on the first, first, second, third, fourth, transverse beams 20, 21, 22, 23, and transverse beams 24, 24 'through rubber soft 1 rubber rigid 2. However, Rubber Hard 2 is made of a fairly strong rubber.

In (Figs. 9 and 12), it is thin, but it is necessary to increase the strength by increasing the thickness. The rubber soft 1 always has a place where it is strongly pulled and a place where it is hardly pulled, but it is calculated so that it can be pulled sufficiently so as not to wrinkle.

Here, the rubber soft 1 is pulled to the rubber fixing bolt 16 on the back side of the transverse beams 24, 24 'by the pulling rubber 7. This is to remove sufficient distortion and wrinkles.

In order to improve the sliding of the rubber soft 1, the roller bearing 8 is rotated, so that it is wound from the front to the back. Furthermore, the rubber soft 1 and the rubber hard 2 are provided with several sheets so that distortion can be reduced.

The feature of this system is that it goes back and forth with few parts regardless of the top and bottom, left and right topography. The largest parts are rubber soft 1 and rubber hard 2 which are long and endlessly formed. Drive wheels 9, 10 and 11 that move them form a track in any direction, ride on the top, move passengers and luggage To do. The total weight of these is about twice that of the track rails and sleepers when corrected per unit area.

It doesn't come true. This system has the best energy per person than trains, buses and taxis.

Moreover, it is the most suitable means for ultra-mass transportation, and if you want to make it faster, you can solve this by providing multiple moving sidewalks where you get off. These mass transit belts are convenient because they do not have to wait in time. In addition, you can choose where you get on and off.

Structure of the third embodiment

Instead of the fitting structure of the pin 5 and spherical bush 6 of the second embodiment, a hook structure is adopted. The block front hanging part 43 and the block rear hanging part 44 are key-shaped and have a meshing structure. Everything else is the same as the second embodiment.

Structure of the fourth embodiment

This is a rubber soft 1 with a handrail 60 provided with a frame 61 fixed to the cross beams 51 and 51 'at the same time. Only one of them is raised, and the ride side cannot be raised. In this case, ride from the right side of Fig. 18.

The goodness of providing a handrail is that you can ride a lot and it is safe. The goodness of this system can be a chair if the handrail is wide. But only on one side.
These rubber handrails that keep the ride side (right side) low are likely to involve passengers at first glance, but can be adequately handled by using soft rubber.

In the case where the handrail 60 is attached, the high and low inclinations must be reduced. Further, the shape of the outer frames 19 and 19 ′ must be larger than the width of the rubber soft 1.
(The parts that do not move are the same in the first, second, third, and fourth embodiments)

All examples

In any of the embodiments, extensometers 57, 57 '... Are pasted in rubbers 1 and 2, and these data are collected and a re-command is transmitted to each drive source 12 by a computer. This is necessary to run smoothly and prevent wear.

The present invention greatly changes the shape of the passenger conveyor. It is possible to move in any direction without any restrictions, and it can be increased as much as possible, but it is also possible to increase the speed fairly quickly.
