As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the vibration imparting section 40 is provided on the handrail rail 30. As shown in FIG. The vibration imparting section 40 is configured to impart vibration to the handrail belt 10 . In this embodiment, a plurality of vibration imparting portions 40 are attached to the handrail rail 30. As shown in FIG. A plurality of vibration imparting units 40 are arranged in the moving direction D of the handrail belt 10 . The vibration imparting portion 40 is provided on the rail inclined portion 34 of the handrail rail 30 described above. The moving direction D of the handrail belt 10 is the same as the moving direction of the steps 2. As shown in FIG.

Vibration applying section 40 according to the present embodiment includes roller 41 . The roller 41 is rotatably provided on the handrail rail 30 . As shown in FIG. 2, the rollers 41 are housed in the housing portion 32 of the handrail rail 30 and protrude upward from the upper end 31b of the handrail deck 31. As shown in FIG. As a result, the rollers 41 can form a step in the movement direction D of the handrail belt 10, and the rollers 41 can impart vibration to the handrail belt 10. FIG. The roller 41 abuts on the inner surface of the handrail belt 10 and is configured to roll on the handrail belt 10 . The rollers 41 may be composed of ball bearings, for example.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, rollers 41 are arranged on both sides of the balustrade 3 . A plurality of rollers 41 are arranged in the movement direction D of the handrail belt 10 on both sides of the balustrade 3 . Thus, on both sides of the balustrade 3, roller rows 42 are formed.

Each roller 41 is attached to a corresponding link member 50, as shown in FIGS. Roller 41 is attached to link member 50 via roller pin 51 . The roller pin 51 protrudes outward from the roller 41 in the width direction of the handrail belt 10, and the end 51a of the roller pin 51 is inserted into a notch or a hole (both not shown) of the handrail deck 31. Each roller 41 is thus positioned relative to the handrail deck 31 .

The link member 50 is housed in the housing portion 32 of the handrail deck 31 and arranged between the rollers 41 adjacent to each other in the width direction of the handrail belt 10 . As shown in FIG. 4, the link member 50 extends in the movement direction D of the handrail belt 10. As shown in FIG. A plurality of link members 50 are arranged in the movement direction D of the handrail belt 10, and adjacent link members 50 are connected to each other. Thus, a plurality of rollers 41 are arranged in the moving direction D of the handrail belt 10. As shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3, the arrangement pitch of the rollers 41 constituting the vibration imparting section 40 has a first pitch P1 and a second pitch P2. The arrangement pitch of the rollers 41 is the distance between the rotation center lines of the rollers 41 adjacent to each other in the movement direction D of the handrail belt 10 . In the present embodiment, there are two types of arrangement pitches of the rollers 41: a first pitch P1 and a second pitch P2. The arrangement pitch of the rollers 41 in each roller row 42 may be the same, but may be different.

As shown in FIG. 3, the second pitch P2 is different from the first pitch P1. This makes it possible to impart vibrations to the passenger's hands at different intervals rather than vibrations at regular intervals.

In this embodiment, the second pitch P2 is twice the first pitch P1. In this embodiment, the link member 50 is configured so that all the rollers 41 can be arranged at the first pitch P1. However, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, there are link members 50 to which rollers 41 are not attached. That is, the rollers 41 are not attached to at least one link member 50 . In this manner, the vibration applying section 40 having the first pitch P1 and the second pitch P2 can be configured. In this case, a roller pin 51 may be attached to the link member 50 as shown in FIG. Note that the configuration for arranging the vibration imparting sections 40 so as to have the first pitch P1 and the second pitch P2 is not limited to this, and is arbitrary.

The arrangement pitch of the rollers 41 may be set so that a desired rhythm can be transmitted to the hand of the passenger holding the handrail belt 10 . For example, the arrangement pitch of the rollers 41 may be set as shown in FIG. FIG. 6 shows an example in which the arrangement pitch of the rollers 41 is set so as to transmit the 3-3-7 time signature vibration to the passenger's hand. In other words, the handrail belt guide device 20 shown in FIG. 6 is configured to be able to apply vibrations of 3-3-7 time to the hands of passengers. A roller 41 shown in FIG. 6 is arranged on the rail inclined portion 34 described above.

FIG. 6 shows an example in which the handrail belt 10 extends from bottom to top. The handrail belt guide device 20 shown in FIG. 6 includes a first roller group 61, a second roller group 62, and a third roller group 63. As shown in FIG. Each roller group 61-63 includes a plurality of rollers 41 continuously arranged at a first pitch P1. The first roller group 61 is arranged on the upstream side (lower side in FIG. 6). The third roller group 63 is arranged on the downstream side (upper side in FIG. 6). The second roller group 62 is arranged between the first roller group 61 and the third roller group 63 .

The first roller group 61 and the second roller group 62 are composed of three rollers 41 continuously arranged at the first pitch P1. The third roller group 63 is composed of seven rollers 41 continuously arranged at the first pitch P1. The first roller group 61 and the second roller group 62 are arranged at a second pitch P2. More specifically, the arrangement pitch between the most downstream roller 41 of the first roller group 61 and the most upstream roller 41 of the second roller group 62 is set to the second pitch P2. It is Similarly, the second roller group 62 and the third roller group 63 are arranged at the second pitch P2. More specifically, the arrangement pitch between the roller 41 positioned most downstream in the second roller group 62 and the roller 41 positioned most upstream in the second roller group 62 is set to the second pitch P2. It is

The arrangement pitch between the rollers 41 located on the most upstream side of the first roller group 61 and the rollers 41 located on the upstream side of the first roller group 61 is set to the second pitch P2. The arrangement pitch between the rollers 41 located on the most downstream side of the third roller group 63 and the rollers 41 located on the downstream side of the third roller group 63 is set to the second pitch P2.

Next, as an example, the action of the handrail belt guide device 20 shown in FIG. 6 will be described with reference to FIG.

While the steps 2 are circulating, the handrail belt 10 moves in the moving direction D in synchronization with the movement of the steps 2. - 特許庁The steps 2 and the handrail belt 10 move at a constant speed. As shown in FIG. 7, the handrail belt 10 advances while getting over rollers 41 provided on the handrail rail 30 . In the position where the rollers 41 are not present, the handrail belt 10 is lowered and abuts the handrail deck 31 of the handrail rail 30 . The handrail belt 10 also drops at the position where the arrangement pitch is the first pitch P1, and the handrail belt 10 drops also at the position where the arrangement pitch is the second pitch P2. In this way, vibration is imparted to the passenger's hand gripping the handrail belt 10 when riding over the rollers 41 . When one roller 41 is crossed, one vibration is transmitted to the passenger's hand.

When the rollers 41 are arranged as shown in FIG. 6, the passenger's hands are vibrated in a 3-3-7 beat rhythm.

First, as the handrail belt 10 moves, the passenger's hand gripping the handrail belt 10 reaches the first roller group 61 . At this time, the interval from the vibration applied by the last roller 41 arranged upstream of the first roller group 61 to the first vibration applied by the first roller group 61 is based on the second pitch P2. interval. This interval is relatively long. This can be perceived by the passenger as a break to indicate the beginning of a series of vibrations corresponding to the desired rhythm starting from the first group of rollers 61 .

Subsequently, the passenger's hand climbs over the first roller group 61 . At this time, vibration is applied three times at intervals based on the first pitch P1, which is the arrangement pitch of the rollers 41 . The interval between vibrations applied from the first roller group 61 is relatively short.

The passenger's hand then reaches the second roller group 62 . The interval from the last vibration applied by the first roller group 61 to the first vibration applied by the second roller group 62 is based on the second pitch P2. This interval is relatively long.

Subsequently, the passenger's hand climbs over the second roller group 62 . At this time, vibration is applied three times at intervals based on the first pitch P1, which is the arrangement pitch of the rollers 41 . The interval between vibrations applied from the second roller group 62 is relatively short.

The passenger's hand then reaches the third roller group 63 . The interval from the last vibration applied from the second roller group 62 to the first vibration applied from the third roller group 63 is the interval based on the second pitch P2. This interval is relatively long.

Subsequently, the passenger's hand climbs over the third roller group 63 . At this time, vibration is applied seven times at intervals based on the first pitch P1, which is the arrangement pitch of the rollers 41 . The interval between vibrations applied from the third roller group 63 is relatively short.

After that, the passenger's hand reaches the downstream roller 41 of the third roller group 63 . The interval from the last vibration imparted by the third roller group 63 to the vibration imparted by the downstream roller 41 of the third roller group 63 is the interval based on the second pitch P2. This interval is relatively long. This can be perceived by the passenger as a break to mark the end of the series of vibrations corresponding to the desired rhythm ending at the third roller group 63.

In this way, the passenger's hand gripping the handrail belt 10 climbs over the first roller group 61, the second roller group 62 and the third roller group 63, thereby allowing the passenger to play the rhythm of 3-3-7 time. can feel That is, by gripping the handrail belt 10, the passenger can feel a desired rhythm, and the passenger riding the passenger conveyor 1 can be entertained. For this reason, passengers who get on the passenger conveyor 1 grasp the handrail belt 10 in order to enjoy themselves while riding.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, the vibration is applied to the passenger's hand in a 3-3-7 rhythm, but the vibration rhythm is not limited to this, and can be any rhythm. For example, the arrangement pitch of the rollers 41 may be set so that the chorus of a piece of music or a desired melody can be felt in rhythm. Also, the handrail belt guide device 20 may be configured so that a series of rhythms such as 3-3-7 beats can be obtained multiple times while the handrail belt 10 is moving on the rail inclined portion 34 . In this case, for example, the combination of the first roller group 61, the second roller group 62, and the third roller group 63 shown in FIG. 6 may be formed on the handrail rail 30 multiple times.

At the boarding/alighting gate 9 serving as the entrance of the passenger conveyor 1, a notification means may be used to notify passengers that they can feel the rhythm by gripping the handrail belt 10. FIG. Examples of notification means include installation of a guide plate (not shown), announcement, and the like.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the handrail rail 30 is provided with a plurality of vibration imparting portions 40 arranged in the moving direction D of the handrail belt 10 . The arrangement pitch of the vibration applying units 40 has a first pitch P1 and a second pitch P2. As a result, while the passenger on the passenger conveyor 1 is holding the handrail belt 10, the hand of the passenger can be given a desired rhythm of vibration. Therefore, the passenger can feel the rhythm from the handrail belt 10, and the passenger can be entertained. As a result, the passengers can be induced to grip the handrail 30 in order to have fun during their ride on the passenger conveyor 1 .

Moreover, according to the present embodiment, the vibration applying section 40 includes a roller 41 rotatably provided on the handrail rail 30 . The roller 41 protrudes upward from the upper end 31b of the handrail rail 30. As shown in FIG. As a result, when the handrail belt 10 gets over the rollers 41, vibration can be imparted to the handrail belt 10 from the rollers 41. - 特許庁Therefore, the configuration of the vibration imparting section 40 can be simplified. In addition, in the existing passenger conveyor 1, if the handrail rail 30 is provided with the rollers 41, by changing the arrangement of the rollers 41, the handrail belt guide device 20 that imparts vibration at a desired rhythm can be easily constructed. Can be configured.

Also, according to the present embodiment, the second pitch P2 is twice the first pitch P1. This makes it possible to impart vibrations to the passenger's hands in a relatively simple and clear rhythm. In addition, the configuration of the handrail belt guide device 20 for imparting desired rhythmic vibration can be simplified. For example, in the existing passenger conveyor 1, when the rollers 41 are arranged continuously at the first pitch P1, by removing the rollers 41 at desired positions (rollers 41 indicated by the two-dot chain lines in FIG. 4), Vibration can be imparted to the passenger's hand in a desired rhythm. Therefore, it is possible to easily configure the handrail belt guide device 20 that can apply vibrations in a desired rhythm.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the rollers 41 constituting the vibration imparting section 40 are arranged on the rail inclined section 34 of the handrail belt 10. As shown in FIG. In general, the rail slope portion 34 is the portion where the handrail belt 10 can move in the longest straight line. As a result, it is possible to easily configure the handrail belt guide device 20 that can apply vibrations in a desired rhythm. For example, the passenger's hand can be vibrated in a repeating desired rhythm, or the passenger's hand can be vibrated in a relatively long rhythm. Therefore, it is possible to further entertain passengers on board.

In the above-described embodiment, the arrangement pitch of the rollers 41 constituting the vibration imparting section 40 has a first pitch P1 and a second pitch P2, and the second pitch P2 is the first pitch. An example in which P1 is doubled has been described. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the second pitch P2 does not have to be twice the first pitch P1, it is arbitrary as long as it is different from the first pitch P1.

Further, in the present embodiment described above, the arrangement pitch of the rollers 41 constituting the vibration imparting section 40 has the first pitch P1 and the second pitch P2, and there are two types of arrangement pitches. I explained an example. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the arrangement pitch of the rollers 41 may be of three types, or may be of four types or more, and is arbitrary.

Further, in the present embodiment described above, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the vibration imparting portion 40 may include the concave portion 70 provided in the handrail rail 30. FIG. The recess 70 may be arranged between two rollers 41 arranged at the second pitch P2. As a result, a step can be formed by the concave portion 70, and vibration can be imparted to the handrail belt 10 from the concave portion 70. As shown in FIG. In this case, the handrail belt 10 descends and comes into contact with the handrail deck 31 of the handrail rail 30 during the period from overcoming one roller 41 arranged at the second pitch P2 to reaching the other roller 41, and the handrail belt 10 is lifted. Vibration is applied from the concave portion 70 to the hand of the passenger holding it. Since the vibration imparted from the recess 70 is different from the vibration imparted from the roller 41, the vibration imparted to the passenger's hand can be complicated. Therefore, it is possible to impart vibrations to the hands of the passengers in a more complicated rhythm, and to further entertain the passengers while riding. As shown in FIG. 8, one recess 70 or two or more recesses 70 may be formed between the two rollers 41 arranged at the second pitch P2. The planar shape of the recess 70 is arbitrary. The recess 70 may be arranged at the middle position between the two rollers 41 arranged at the second pitch P2, or may be arranged at a position shifted from the middle position. As shown in FIG. 9, the recesses 70 are formed in the upper ends 31b on both sides of the handrail deck 31 in the width direction. The recess 70 may be formed by cutting the upper end 31b. The configuration of the recess 70 is arbitrary.

Further, in the present embodiment described above, the vibration imparting portion 40 may include the convex portion 80 provided on the handrail rail 30 as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 . The convex portion 80 may be arranged between two rollers 41 arranged at the second pitch P2. As a result, a step can be formed by the convex portion 80, and vibration can be imparted to the handrail belt 10 from the convex portion 80. As shown in FIG. In this case, the handrail belt 10 descends and comes into contact with the handrail deck 31 of the handrail rail 30 during the period from overcoming one roller 41 arranged at the second pitch P2 to reaching the other roller 41, and the handrail belt 10 is lifted. Vibration is applied from the convex portion 80 to the hand of the passenger holding it. Since the vibration applied from the convex portion 80 is different from the vibration applied from the roller 41, the vibration applied to the passenger's hand can be complicated. Therefore, it is possible to impart vibrations to the hands of the passengers in a more complicated rhythm, and to further entertain the passengers while riding. As shown in FIG. 10, one convex portion 80 may be formed between the two rollers 41 arranged at the second pitch P2, or two or more convex portions 80 may be formed. The planar shape of the convex portion 80 is arbitrary. The convex portion 80 may be arranged at an intermediate position between the two rollers 41 arranged at the second pitch P2, or may be arranged at a position shifted from the intermediate position. As shown in FIG. 11, the convex portions 80 are formed in a convex shape on the upper ends 31b on both sides of the handrail deck 31 in the width direction. The protrusion 80 may be formed separately from the handrail deck 31 and attached to the upper end 31b. The configuration of the convex portion 80 is arbitrary.

According to the embodiment described above, the passenger can be encouraged to hold the handrail.
