Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an escalator or an entrance for a passenger conveyor belonging to the escalator technology such as an electric road.

[Conventional technology]

Escalator entrance floorboards are generally made of stainless steel with a surface pattern, but escalator floorboards are also known in which a portion of the escalator is equipped with a lighting device.

An example of the former is JP-A-61-169490, and an example of the latter is Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 44-2344.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Of the above-mentioned conventional techniques, the former has no detailed explanation, but a concave-convex pattern is provided on the surface of the floorboard of the first boarding/exit to improve the aesthetic appearance and the anti-slip effect when walking. On the other hand, the latter example uses lighting effects to draw attention to the surface of the floorboards and to notify the store name and direction of travel.

Here, the floorboards at the entrances and exits are a passageway for passengers to reach the steps, and from a viewing perspective they serve as a display for recognizing the floor name (-floor or second floor). It is necessary to function as an opening/closing lid for inspection. In this way, floorboards that require consideration in terms of display and maintenance as well as strength as a passageway, have recently been designed to express a profound design.
For example, there is a desire to use decorative panels made of ceramic boards in towns and museums that are famous for their historical sites, but known examples cannot meet this demand in terms of structure and strength.

An object of the present invention is to provide an escalator entrance in which a decorative floor is provided as a part of the flooring material to enhance the design, and the mounting strength of the decorative floor is increased.

[Means for solving problems]

The above object is achieved by providing a thick decorative floor different from the surface material of the floorboard on a part of the floorboard of the entrance and exit, and further supporting this decorative floor with a reinforcing body.

[Effect]

The decorative board is made of a material such as ceramic or glass that is heavy and highly designed, and is placed flush with the surface material of the floorboard in the empty space created by removing a part of the floorboard, and in the thickness direction. A reinforcing body formed in a recess on the underside of the floorboard is fixed in place. This prevents the decorative floor from sinking, restricts its movement from side to side, and even when the floorboards are opened and closed during maintenance, the decorative floor and the floorboards are handled as one unit, increasing strength and strength.
There are benefits in terms of both maintenance.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the figure, step 1 of moving in an endlessly connected manner;
A movable handrail 2 that moves in synchronization with this, a parapet 3 that guides and supports the movable handrail 2, and a floorboard 4 that serves as the surface material for the entrance/exit. The overall structure of the reinforcing frame 5 on the back side of the floorboard 4, the main body frame 6 that supports all these structures, etc. is approximately the same as the conventional one, but the floorboard 4 of the present invention has a part of its surface. , this floorboard 4
It is characterized by the arrangement of the decorative board 4A, which is a different material from the previous one and is also thicker. Here, the decorative floor 4A is made of a ceramic plate or glass plate that has a solid feel, and is thicker than the floorboard 4 to increase its strength, and the bottom surface is bonded with a cushioning effect to prevent cracking. It is fixed to the reinforcement body 5 by the layer S. In addition, in order to prevent the decorative floor 4A from sinking and shaking from side to side, a space K is provided in the floorboard 4 and the reinforcing body 5, and this portion of the floorboard 4 is removed in this space. . In this way, the floorboard 4 which becomes the surface material. The decorative floor 4A and the reinforcing body 5 are structurally integrated, and when opening and closing the floorboard 4 for maintenance work, these three members are handled as one unit.

Although not shown, the surface material of the floorboard 4 is provided with many uneven patterns to provide an anti-slip effect, and the surface of the decorative floor 4A is also provided with a pattern 4B to express a sense of solidity due to the material. It enhances the visual effect.

Furthermore, the recessed part of the reinforcing body 5 that forms the space K is box-shaped to prevent water droplets from entering the inside of the machine, and the lower surface of this is placed on the reinforcing frame 7, and finally the main body frame 6, the strength is maintained as shown by arrow W.

According to this embodiment, not only does the floorboard have a solid feel, but it also becomes an effective entrance/exit in terms of maintainability and strength.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. Steps that are connected in an endless manner and move, a moving handrail that moves in synchronization with the steps, a balustrade that guides and supports the moving handrail, and a surface material and a reinforcing body at both ends of the balustrade. In a floorboard comprising a floorboard, a reinforcing frame that supports the floorboard, a main body frame that maintains the strength of these structures, etc., the floorboard is made into a blank space by removing the surface material and a part of the surface material. and a decorative floor made of a material different from the surface material is fitted into the void space to form a surface, and the surface material and the decorative floor are supported by the reinforcing body. mouth.
