Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the get-on/off safety of passengers at an intermediate get-on/off way by providing a moving footpath for moving a pallet provided adjacently parallel to a footstep, around the intermediate get-on/off way of a horizontal part. CONSTITUTION:At the time of moving from the first floor to the second floor, a passenger moves from the hall of the first floor to the second floor by an escalator 1, moves onto the pallet 8 of a footpath 7 moving from the footstep 2 through an intermediate get-on/off way 6 when the footstep 2 moves onto this get-on/off way 6, and gets off at the get-off place of the footpath 7. At the time of moving from the second floor to the third floor, the passenger gets on the moving pallet 8 from the get-on place of the footpath 7, moves onto the step 2 of the escalator 1 from the pallet 8 through the get-on/off way 6 when the pallet 8 moves to the get-on/off way 6, and moves from the second floor to the third floor by the escalator. The getting-on/off of the passenger at the get-on/off way 6 is thus performed between the footstep 2 and the pallet 8 moving horizontally and adjacently parallel to the footstep 2, so that the passenger is prevented from losing his balance and falling at the getting-on/off time. Safety can be thus improved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an improvement in an escalator with an intermediate entrance that allows passengers to get on and off during the journey from the entrance to the exit.

[Conventional technology]

An escalator is a device that circulates a plurality of steps to transport passengers and luggage loaded on the steps up or down, and when there is only one escalator, it is configured to serve the first floor. However, when using the service on the first floor, for example, if you want to go from the first floor to the third floor, you have to take a special escalator from the first floor to the second floor, and then transfer to another special escalator from the second floor to the third floor. It is inconvenient. Therefore, Utsukai Showa 53-1
In view of the above, Japanese Patent No. 52396 proposes an escalator with an entrance/exit on the way.

Figure 2 shows a conventional escalator with intermediate entrances. In the figure, (1) is an escalator, and this escalator (1) has a plurality of steps (2
) and handrails (4) that guide the movable handrails (3) that are erected on both sides of the main frame of the escalator (1) and circulate in the longitudinal direction.
), and has the function of transporting passengers (not shown) from the first floor to the third floor or from the third floor to the first floor.

(5) is a horizontal part provided in the longitudinal center of the escalator (1), and this horizontal part (5) is located on the second floor of the building, and is used as a step (2) for carrying passengers and for holding passengers. The moving handrail (3) is adapted to move horizontally. and,
A part of the handrail (4) in this horizontal part (5) is cut off to form a gap, and this gap serves as a midway entrance (6).

Therefore, for example, when a passenger moves from the first floor to the second floor, he moves from the landing on the first floor to the second floor by escalator (1),
When the step (2) moves to the exit (6) on the way, the step (2)
), pass through the entrance (6) and reach the second floor.

Moreover, when a passenger moves from the second floor to the third floor, he or she steps on the horizontally moving steps (2) from the halfway entrance (6) and moves from the second floor to the third floor.

There are publications etc.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) A conventional escalator with a midway entrance is configured as shown above, and when getting on and off at the midway entrance (6), the passenger can move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the steps (2). Because passengers had to turn their bodies toward the ground, there was a risk that passengers would lose their balance and fall when getting on and off the plane.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to provide an escalator with an intermediate entrance that can improve the safety of passengers getting on and off at the intermediate entrance.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a horizontal part in the middle of the escalator where the steps move horizontally, and also cuts off the railing in this horizontal part to create a boarding/exiting point midway. In addition, the platform is characterized in that a boarding and alighting trachet for horizontally moving a pallet parallel to and adjacent to the steps is disposed near an intermediate boarding and alighting entrance in the horizontal section.

(Function) According to the present invention, boarding and alighting at the intermediate entrance/exit is performed between the steps of the escalator that moves horizontally and the pallet of the trajeta for boarding/exiting that moves horizontally adjacent to and parallel to the steps. 1. - The safety of passengers getting on and off the train can be greatly improved.

[Actual & Examples] The present invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment shown in Fig. 1. In the figure, (1) is an escalator, and this escalator -
The escalator (1) has a plurality of steps (2) that circulate in the longitudinal direction, and a parapet (4) that guides the moving handrails (3) that are erected on both sides of the main frame of the escalator (1) and that circulate in the longitudinal direction. It has the function of transporting passengers (not shown) from the first floor to the third floor or from the third floor to the first floor.

(5) is a horizontal part provided in the longitudinal center of the escalator (1), and this horizontal part (5) is located on the second floor of the building.
The steps (2) on which the passengers are loaded and the movable handrails (3) that are held by the passengers are designed to move horizontally. A part of the right side railing (4) in this horizontal part (5) is cut off to form a gap, and this gap is used as the entrance/exit (6).
