The first support plate 10d and the second support plate 10e may be made of different materials, for example. Although not particularly limited, the first support plate 10d may be made of, for example, metal (eg, stainless steel) or hard resin, and the second support plate 10e may be made of, for example, glass. may

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the irradiation device 8 includes, for example, a light source 11 that irradiates the handrail belt 9 with ultraviolet rays, a device cover portion 12 that covers the light source 11 and the handrail belt 9, and a floor plate that covers the device cover portion 12. A cover supporting portion 13 that is supported by 1a may be provided.

The light source 11 is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, an LED, or may be, for example, a lamp. Also, the number of light sources 11 is not particularly limited. The light source 11 may be fixed to the balustrade body 10 (eg, the first support plate 10d of the guide support 10b) by, for example, fixing means 15 (not shown).

The device cover section 12 may include, for example, a cover body 14 that covers the entire light source 11 and part of the handrail belt 9 as in the present embodiment. The cover body 14 may be fixed to the balustrade main body 10 by, for example, fixing means 15 (not shown). Since the cover body 14 is thereby fixed to the balustrade main body 10 , the device cover 12 is attached to the balustrade main body 10 .

In addition, the structure of the fixing means 15 is not specifically limited. For example, the fixing means 15 may fix the light source 11 to the first support plate 10d by connecting the light source 11 and the first support plate 10d. Further, for example, the fixing means 15 may fix the cover body 14 to the first support plate 10d by connecting the cover body 14 and the first support plate 10d.

The cover body 14 includes, for example, a pair of side covers 14a, 14a covering the light source 11 and the handrail belt 9 from the second lateral direction D2, and covering the light source 11 and the handrail belt 9 from the first lateral direction D1, as in the present embodiment. A pair of end covers 14c, 14c (see FIGS. 6 and 7) may be provided to cover between the side cover 14a and the peripheral cover 14b and the balustrade 7.

Thereby, for example, the ultraviolet rays emitted from the light source 11 can be prevented from leaking to the outside of the irradiation device 8 . The cover body 14 is not particularly limited, but may be made of, for example, a metal (for example, stainless steel, etc.) capable of shielding ultraviolet rays, a hard resin, or the like.

Then, the cover body 14 may be arranged so as to cover the entire first support plate 10d and the entire fixing means 15, for example, as in the present embodiment. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the first support plate 10 d and the fixing means 15 from being visually recognized from the outside of the irradiation device 8 .

Moreover, at least part of the cover body 14 may be configured to be detachable from the balustrade main body 10, for example. Specifically, for example, each of the covers 14a to 14c may be configured to be detachable from the balustrade main body 10. As shown in FIG. Accordingly, for example, by removing at least part of the cover body 14 from the balustrade main body 10, the inside of the irradiation device 8 (for example, the light source 11, etc.) can be easily confirmed.

Further, for example, as in the present embodiment, the device cover portion 12 is arranged apart from the floor plate 1a upward, whereas the cover support portion 13 extends downward from the device cover portion 12 to the floor plate 1a. It may be configured to extend to. As a result, the device cover portion 12 is supported by the floor plate 1a via the cover support portion 13 . Therefore, for example, the device cover portion 12 can be reliably fixed to the balustrade portion 7 .

As a result, even when a downward force is applied to the device cover portion 12, it is possible to prevent the device cover portion 12 from being displaced from the balustrade portion 7 or coming off the device cover portion 12 from the balustrade portion 7. can be done. A downward force is applied to the device cover portion 12 , for example, when a passenger leans against the device cover portion 12 from above, or when luggage is placed on the device cover portion 12 .

Further, since the peripheral cover 14b is arranged along the handrail belt 9, the peripheral cover 14b extends in an arc shape as viewed in the second lateral direction D2. As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent baggage from being placed on the device cover portion 12, that is, on the peripheral surface cover 14b. Moreover, for example, it is possible to prevent the cover body 14 from becoming large when viewed in the second lateral direction D2.

When checking the inside of the machine room 2a (see FIG. 1), the floor plate 1a is removed from the structure 2 (see FIG. 1). On the other hand, the cover support part 13 may be configured such that the length extending downward from the device cover part 12 can be changed, for example, as in the present embodiment. Accordingly, by changing the length by which the cover support portion 13 extends from the apparatus cover portion 12, the cover support portion 13 can be separated from the floor plate 1a.

Therefore, for example, the floor plate 1a can be easily attached to and detached from the structure 2 . Although the configuration of the cover support portion 13 is not particularly limited, the cover support portion 13 may be able to change the length extending from the apparatus cover portion 12 by the screw mechanism 13a as in the present embodiment. good.

By the way, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, for example, the balustrade cover portion 10c has a balustrade doorway 10f at the end in the first lateral direction D1 through which the handrail belt 9 enters and exits. The cover body 14 of the portion 12 may cover the balustrade doorway 10f. This prevents the balustrade doorway 10f from being exposed. Therefore, for example, it is possible to prevent the balustrade doorway 10f from being visually recognized from the outside of the irradiation device 8, and for example, it is possible to prevent passengers from approaching or touching the balustrade doorway 10f. .

Although not particularly limited, the gap between the cover body 14 and the balustrade cover portion 10c may be, for example, 20 mm or less at maximum, and preferably, for example, 5 mm or less at maximum. More preferably, the balustrade cover portion 10c is in contact. 4(a) and 5(a) show the case where the irradiation device 8 is present, and FIGS. 4(b) and 5(b) show the case where the irradiation device 8 is not present.

Further, the device cover portion 12 includes a device doorway 16a (see also FIGS. 6 and 7) through which the handrail belt 9 enters and exits, and the cover body 14 continues from the device doorway 16a to the balustrade doorway 10f, for example. You may arrange|position so that it may cover. Thus, the cover body 14 continuously covers the handrail belt 9 from the balustrade doorway 10f to the device doorway 16a.

Therefore, the device cover portion 12 has only one exposed doorway (device doorway) 16a. On the other hand, since the balustrade doorway 10f is covered with the cover body 14, the balustrade doorway 10f is not exposed. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent an increase in the number of exposed doorways due to the irradiation device 8 being attached to the balustrade section 7 .

Specifically, at one end of the balustrade device 4 in the first lateral direction D1, when the irradiation device 8 is not attached to the balustrade portion 7, the exposed entrance is one of the balustrade entrances 10f. When the device 8 is attached to the balustrade 7, the exposed doorway is one of the device doorways 16a.

Further, the cover body 14 may cover the entire arc portion 9a of the handrail belt 9, for example, as in the present embodiment. Thereby, the cover body 14 is arranged so as to continuously cover the handrail belt 9 from the balustrade doorway 10f to at least the upper end of the arc portion 9a.

Therefore, for example, it is possible to prevent the apparatus doorway 16a from being hidden by the balustrade 7 for a passenger who is transported on the step 3b (see FIG. 1), so that the passenger is transported on the step 3b. Passengers can easily see the device doorway 16a. As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent the passenger from being caught by the handrail belt 9 up to the device doorway 16a, so it is possible to prevent the passenger from touching the device doorway 16a.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, for example, the device cover portion 12 includes a movable body 16 that is movable with respect to the cover body 14, and the movable body 16 has a device entrance/exit 16a therein. may be configured. Further, the irradiation device 8 includes, for example, the elastic portion 17 that applies an elastic restoring force to the movable body 16 and the detection portion 18 that detects the movement of the movable body 16 with respect to the cover body 14 as in the present embodiment. may be provided.

For example, as in the present embodiment, the movable body 16 may include a tubular portion 16b having a device entrance/exit 16a therein and a flange portion 16c protruding outward from the tubular portion 16b. Although the movable body 16 is not particularly limited, for example, it may be made of an elastic material (for example, rubber). Further, the movable body 16 may arrange the first linear portion 9b of the handrail belt 9 inside the cylindrical portion 16b, for example, as in the present embodiment.

The elastic portion 17 is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, a coiled spring as in the present embodiment, or may be, for example, rubber. Note that the elastic portion 17 may be fixed to the first support plate 10d of the balustrade body portion 10 by the fixing means 15, for example, as in the present embodiment.

Although the detection unit 18 is not particularly limited, for example, it may be a contact sensor as in the present embodiment, or may be various sensors such as a photoelectric sensor. Note that the detection unit 18 may be fixed to the first support plate 10d of the balustrade main body 10 by the fixing means 15 as in the present embodiment, for example.

Thereby, the movable body 16 is positioned at the reference position by the elastic portion 17 when no external force is applied to the movable body 16 . If a hand hits the movable body 16 while the passenger is caught by the handrail belt 9, force is applied to the movable body 16. On the contrary, it moves relative to the cover body 14 . Therefore, for example, the impact applied to the hand from the movable body 16 can be reduced.

Further, for example, when the movable body 16 moves a set distance or more relative to the cover body 14 , the detection unit 18 detects movement of the movable body 16 relative to the cover body 14 . As a result, it is possible to detect that a force has been applied to the movable body 16. For example, when the passenger is caught by the handrail belt 9, it is possible to detect that the movable body 16 has been touched by the hand. .

When the movable body 16 is hit by a hand, for example, the running speed of the handrail belt 9 and the step 3b (see FIG. 1) may be changed by the processing device 6 (see FIG. 1). Specifically, the running of the handrail belt 9 and the step 3b may be stopped (the running speed may be set to zero), or the running speed may be reduced.

Further, when the movable body 16 is hit by a hand, for example, the processing device 6 may output information from an output unit (not shown). Specifically, for example, an audio unit (eg, buzzer, etc.) may output an alarm sound, or, for example, a display unit (eg, indicator lamp, etc.) may output an alarm indication.
