Description

本発明は、エスカレーター用踏段清掃装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an escalator step cleaning device.

従来、エスカレーターは、駅、空港、百貨店などの人の交通量の多い場所に設置されており、そのエスカレーターの稼動時間が長く、不稼動時間は限られた短い時間帯であることが多い。そのために、エスカレーターの清掃は、エスカレーターの稼動の妨げにならないように、より短時間で確実に行われることが求められている。   Conventionally, an escalator is installed in a place with a lot of traffic such as a station, an airport, a department store, etc., and the escalator has a long operation time and the non-operation time is often a limited short time zone. Therefore, the cleaning of the escalator is required to be performed reliably in a shorter time so as not to hinder the operation of the escalator.

ところが、エスカレーター用踏段は、乗降口のくしと噛合うために前後方向に延びるクリート（溝）が多数形成された踏面と、隣接の踏段端部と噛合うために上下方向に延びるクリート（溝）が多数形成されたライザー面を備えているので、その踏面及びライザー面のクリート（溝）内の汚れを取り除くのは困難であって、エスカレーター用踏段の清掃作業に多大な時間を費やさざるを得なかった。   However, an escalator step is a cleat (groove) that extends in the up-and-down direction to mesh with a tread surface in which a large number of cleats (grooves) extend in the front-rear direction to mesh with the comb of the entrance and exit, and an adjacent step end. Since it has a large number of riser surfaces, it is difficult to remove dirt in the treads and cleats (grooves) on the riser surfaces, and it takes a lot of time to clean the escalator steps. There wasn't.

そこで、エスカレーターの躯体に固定してなる取り付け部材に支持アームを回動可能に設け、この支持アームにエスカレーター用踏段に当接する清掃具を固定して、その清掃具が、走行するエスカレーター用踏段のライザー面を摺動させることで、そのライザー面の清掃を短時間で行うようにしたエスカレーター用踏段清掃装置の提案がなされている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。
特開昭６１−１０１３８６号公報 Therefore, a support arm is rotatably provided on an attachment member fixed to the escalator housing, and a cleaning tool that contacts the escalator step is fixed to the support arm, and the cleaning tool is connected to the traveling escalator step.

Furthermore, since the contact angle of the cleaning member 7 to the riser surface 2B is maintained substantially constant, the cleaning of the riser surface 2B by the cleaning member 7 is efficiently performed.

図３〜図５は、本発明の他実施形態その２に係るエスカレーター用踏段清掃装置２１を示す。エスカレーター用踏段清掃装置２１と図１の一実施形態に係るエスカレーター用踏段清掃装置４とは、前者の接触角度維持手段２２と後者の接触角度維持手段９とが異なるのみで、他の構成については、両者は同一である。なお、図３〜図５において、図１と同一符号は、同一内容を表している。   3 to 5 show an escalator step cleaning device 21 according to another embodiment 2 of the present invention. The escalator step cleaning device 21 and the escalator step cleaning device 4 according to the embodiment of FIG. 1 are different only in the former contact angle maintaining means 22 and the latter contact angle maintaining means 9. Both are the same. 3 to 5, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 represent the same contents.

他実施形態その２に係るエスカレーター用踏段清掃装置２１の接触角度維持手段２２は、ベース部材５と、レバー部材６と、このレバー部材６の他端側６Ｂに回動支持されて清掃部材７が取り付けられる第１リンク部材１０と、一端側２３Ａがベース部材５に回動自在に支持され、かつ、他端側２３Ｂが第１リンク部材１０に回動自在に支持される第２リンク部材２３とによって平行四辺形が形成されるリンク機構としたものである。   The contact angle maintaining means 22 of the escalator step cleaning device 21 according to the second embodiment is rotatably supported by the base member 5, the lever member 6, and the other end side 6 </ b> B of the lever member 6. The first link member 10 to be attached, the second link member 23 whose one end side 23A is rotatably supported by the base member 5, and the other end side 23B is rotatably supported by the first link member 10. This is a link mechanism in which a parallelogram is formed.

上記他実施形態その２に係るエスカレーター用踏段清掃装置２１によれば、ベース部材５、レバー部材６、第１リンク部材１０及び第２リンク部材２３によるリンク機構によって、第１リンク部材１０をベース部材５の支持部５Ｂと平行に移動させることができるので、清掃部材７のライザー面２Ｂへの接触部位に係らず接触角度が略一定に維持されるので、清掃部材７によるライザー面２Ｂの清掃が効率よく行われる。   According to the escalator step cleaning device 21 according to the second embodiment, the first link member 10 is connected to the base member 5 by the link mechanism including the base member 5, the lever member 6, the first link member 10, and the second link member 23. 5 can be moved in parallel with the support portion 5B. Therefore, the contact angle of the cleaning member 7 is maintained substantially constant regardless of the contact portion of the cleaning member 7 with the riser surface 2B. It is done efficiently.

上記実施形態その２に係るエスカレーター用踏段清掃装置２１による踏段２の清掃状態を、図３〜図５は、に基づいて、具体的に説明する。   The cleaning state of the step 2 by the escalator step cleaning device 21 according to the second embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIGS.

エスカレーター１を停止させた後、エスカレーター用踏段清掃装置２１を設置した状態で、踏段２を左斜め下方に走行させると、図３に示すように、レバー部材６の一端側６Ａと、レバー部材６の他端側６Ｂと、第２リンク部材２３の一端側２３Ａと、第２リンク部材２３の他端側２３Ｂとを、回動支点して、レバー部材６及び第２リンク部材２３が動き、清掃部材７がライザー面２Ｂの下方に押圧される。この場合、第１リンク部材１０は、ベース部材５の支持部５Ｂと平行に移動させられる。   After the escalator 1 is stopped, when the escalator step cleaning device 21 is installed and the step 2 runs diagonally to the left, as shown in FIG. 3, one end side 6A of the lever member 6 and the lever member 6 are moved. The other end side 6B, the one end side 23A of the second link member 23, and the other end side 23B of the second link member 23 are pivoted, and the lever member 6 and the second link member 23 move to perform cleaning. The member 7 is pressed below the riser surface 2B. In this case, the first link member 10 is moved in parallel with the support portion 5 </ b> B of the base member 5.

そして、踏段２が左斜め下方に走行するに連れて、ライザー面２Ｂに押圧された清掃部材７は、ライザー面２Ｂの下方から上方に向って摺動して、図４に示すような状態になる。この状態においても、第１リンク部材１０は、ベース部材５の支持部５Ｂと平行に移動させられるので、清掃部材７のライザー面２Ｂへの接触角度を略一定に維持されるため、清掃部材７によるライザー面２Ｂの清掃が効率よく行われる。   Then, as the step 2 travels obliquely downward to the left, the cleaning member 7 pressed against the riser surface 2B slides upward from below the riser surface 2B to a state as shown in FIG. Become. Even in this state, since the first link member 10 is moved in parallel with the support portion 5B of the base member 5, the contact angle of the cleaning member 7 to the riser surface 2B is maintained substantially constant. The riser surface 2B is efficiently cleaned.

その後、さらに、踏段２が左斜め下方に走行することで、清掃部材７は、ライザー面２Ｂの上端を乗り越えて、図５に示すように、踏段２の踏面２Ａ上に位置するようになる。この場合も、第１リンク部材１０は、ベース部材５の支持部５Ｂと平行に移動させられるので、ライザー面２Ｂの上端においても、清掃部材７のライザー面２Ｂへの接触角度が略一定に維持される。したがって、ライザー面２Ｂの全面が、清掃部材７によって、清掃がムラなく行われる。しかも、清掃部材７がライザー面２Ｂの下端から上端に向って押圧された状態で摺動するので、クリート（溝）内の清掃も効率よく行うことができる。また、清掃部材７が、図５に示すように、踏段２の踏面２Ａ上に位置するようになると、ローラ１０Ａが踏面２Ａ上で転動するようになる。これにより、清掃部材７は、踏面２Ａ上に接触することが起因して寿命が低下するのを防止できる。   Thereafter, when the step 2 further travels diagonally to the left, the cleaning member 7 gets over the upper end of the riser surface 2B and is positioned on the step surface 2A of the step 2 as shown in FIG. Also in this case, since the first link member 10 is moved in parallel with the support portion 5B of the base member 5, the contact angle of the cleaning member 7 to the riser surface 2B is maintained substantially constant even at the upper end of the riser surface 2B. Is done. Therefore, the entire surface of the riser surface 2B is cleaned by the cleaning member 7 without unevenness. And since the cleaning member 7 slides in the state pressed toward the upper end from the lower end of the riser surface 2B, the cleaning in a cleat (groove) can also be performed efficiently. As shown in FIG. 5, when the cleaning member 7 is positioned on the tread surface 2A of the step 2, the roller 10A rolls on the tread surface 2A. Thereby, the cleaning member 7 can prevent a lifetime from being reduced due to contact with the tread surface 2A.

その後、さらに、踏段２が左斜め下方に走行することで、隣接して走行してくる踏段２のライザー面２Ｂの下端に清掃部材７が押圧されるようになる。この場合も、第１リンク部材１０がベース部材５の支持部５Ｂと平行に移動させられて、清掃部材７の、隣接して走行してくる踏段２のライザー面２Ｂへの接触角度が略一定に維持される。   Thereafter, when the step 2 travels diagonally downward to the left, the cleaning member 7 is pressed against the lower end of the riser surface 2B of the step 2 that travels adjacently. Also in this case, the first link member 10 is moved in parallel with the support portion 5B of the base member 5, and the contact angle of the cleaning member 7 to the riser surface 2B of the step 2 that travels adjacently is substantially constant. Maintained.

上記他実施形態その２に係るエスカレーター用踏段清掃装置２１によれば、第１リンク部材１０がベース部材５の支持部５Ｂと平行に移動されられて、常に、清掃部材７のライザー面２Ｂへの接触角度が略一定に維持されるので、ライザー面２Ｂの全面をムラなく清掃することができる。   According to the escalator step cleaning device 21 according to the second embodiment, the first link member 10 is moved in parallel with the support portion 5B of the base member 5, and the cleaning member 7 is always moved to the riser surface 2B. Since the contact angle is maintained substantially constant, the entire surface of the riser surface 2B can be cleaned evenly.

図６は、本発明の他実施形態その３に係るエスカレーター用踏段清掃装置３１を示す。エスカレーター用踏段清掃装置３１と図１の一実施形態に係るエスカレーター用踏段清掃装置４とは、前者の接触角度維持手段３２と後者の接触角度維持手段９とが異なるのみで、他の構成については、両者は同一である。なお、図６において、図１と同一符号は、同一内容を表している。   FIG. 6 shows an escalator step cleaning device 31 according to another embodiment 3 of the present invention. The escalator step cleaning device 31 and the escalator step cleaning device 4 according to one embodiment of FIG. 1 differ only in the former contact angle maintaining means 32 and the latter contact angle maintaining means 9, and the other configurations are as follows. Both are the same. In FIG. 6, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 represent the same contents.
