Abstract

PURPOSE: To shorten moving time in moving roads by setting a moving body of a stationary side unit moving road to a lower speed than an intermediate unit road, and respectively continuously connecting a medium speed unit moving road to a high speed loop-shaped moving road and a low speed unit moving road to a medium speed road. CONSTITUTION: A moving road is formed by dividing the whole distance of the moving road into a low speed unit moving road 1 of low speed travel on the getting on and off side, a medium speed unit moving road 2 continuously connected to the moving road 1 and an intermediate high speed moving road 3 to continuously connect both end side moving roads 2. The intermediate high speed unit moving road 3 is formed in a loop shape, and is arranged to be continuously connected so as to get on and off the moving road 3 through the moving road 1 and the moving road 2. Thus, the low speed, medium speed high speed moving roads 1, 2, 3 are set to respective traveling speeds V1 , V2 , V3 (V1 <V2 <V3 ), so that required time is shortened only in a section of traveling at an intermediate medium speed V2 and a high speed V3 more than when traveling on the conventional low speed moving road 1.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] O Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to an endless moving road such as an escalator or a moving walkway, in which a large number of treads (moving objects) or rubber belts are continuously circulated. be.

O Prior art and its problems On this type of moving road, the speed is set to be lower than a predetermined safe speed, and when a long distance 2i is required, the moving roads are transferred independently from each other. .

Therefore, the traveling speed on the moving road is low, and there is a problem in that it requires a long travel time, especially on a long moving road.

○Object of the Invention The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and to shorten the travel time using moving roads.

O Means for Achieving the Above Object The first invention of the present application connects a plurality of unit travel roads, and makes the running speed of a moving object on the stationary side unit travel road slower than that of the intermediate unit travel road.

The second invention of the present application provides a high-speed loop-shaped travel road arranged in a loop shape for high-speed travel, connects a medium-speed unit travel road to the high-speed loop-shaped travel road, and connects a low-speed unit travel road to the medium-speed unit travel road. It is characterized in that it is possible to freely transfer from a low-speed unit moving road on the stationary side to a high-speed loop-shaped moving road, and from a high-speed loop-shaped moving road to a low-speed unit moving road.

○Example The present invention will be described below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

Referring to Figure 1, the entire journey of the traveling road is determined from the boarding/disembarking side (
Stillness I! III) low-speed unit movement road 1 for low-speed running;
The travel road is divided into a medium speed unit travel road 2 connected to the low speed unit travel road 1 and an intermediate high speed travel road 3 connecting the medium speed unit travel roads 2 at both ends.

FIG. 2 shows the second invention of the present application, in which an intermediate high-speed unit travel road 3 has a loop-like configuration, and getting on and off the high-speed unit travel road 3 is controlled by a low-speed unit travel road 1 and a medium-speed unit travel road 2. Arrange them so that they are connected.

Each of the unit travel roads 1, 2.3 has the same construction as a conventional travel road, and in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, it is driven by a linear motor as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 48-44478. An endless moving body 4 serving as a step board is made of a conductive material such as iron or aluminum to function as a reaction plate of a linear motor, and is connected to a plurality of linear motor coils 5 disposed opposite to the moving body 4. The device is configured to generate driving force.

In addition, the moving road is provided with handrails 6 located on both sides of the moving body 4, and a driving wheel 7 that rotates as the moving body 4 moves is provided, and a belt 8 and a driven roller 9 are provided. The rotation of the wheel 7 is transmitted to the handrail 6 through the handrail 6, and the handrail 6 is configured to move in synchronization with the traveling speed of the moving body 4. Note that, as in the conventional device, the handrail 6 is rotatably supported to the side of the moving body 4 by the support frame 10.

FIG. 5 shows the connection points of the unit travel roads 1, 2.3, and the idle rollers 12 are rotatably supported between adjacent moving bodies 4 by appropriate supports INiFM, and the unit travel roads 1, 2.
2.3 Facilitate transfer between the two.

FIGS. 6 and 7 show another embodiment of the connecting portion, in which a footboard is fixed to the adjacent portion of the movable body so as to fill a gap.

The low-speed travel road 1, the medium-speed travel road 2, and the high-speed travel road 3 have their respective travel speeds V1. V,,V.

With [V2 V3], compared to the case of traveling on the conventional low speed moving road 1, the required time is shortened by the section where the vehicle travels at intermediate speed v2 and high speed v3.

Effects of the Invention The present invention can shorten the time required for the entire journey by making the traveling speed in the intermediate section faster than on conventional travel roads.
