BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a moving handrail entrance / exit device for a passenger conveyor provided at an entrance / exit of a moving handrail,
In particular, the present invention relates to a moving handrail entrance / exit device for a passenger conveyor that calls attention to passengers approaching the entrance / exit of the moving handrail.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a moving handrail entrance / exit device for a passenger conveyor of this type, as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 64-47778, a projector for projecting a predetermined color tone, for example, red light, is used. Illuminate the entrance of the moving handrail,
As a result, it has been proposed that the passenger approaching the entrance / exit is alerted to the fact that the entrance / exit is dangerous.

[0003]

By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional moving handrail entrance / exit device for a passenger conveyor, even if red light is applied to the entrance / exit part by the projector, it is possible to call attention because it is always lit. It was difficult, and it was feared that passengers approaching the entrance could not understand that the entrance was dangerous. In particular, when an infant approaches the entrance, there is a great concern that the entrance may not be understood as dangerous and may lead to an accident.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances in the prior art, and an object thereof is to provide a moving handrail entrance / exit of a passenger conveyor which can surely call attention to a passenger approaching the entrance / exit of the moving handrail. To provide a device.

[0005]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a moving handrail entrance / exit device for a passenger conveyor provided in the entrance / exit portion of a moving handrail, wherein
A configuration is provided in which a detection device that detects an object approaching the entrance / exit portion and an illuminating body that is turned on in response to detection by the detection device are provided.

[0006]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the detecting device detects that an object, for example, a passenger approaches the entrance / exit, and then the illumination body is turned on in response to the detection of the detecting device, that is, The illuminator will only light up when a passenger approaches the doorway. As a result, it is possible to reliably call attention to passengers approaching the entrance / exit of the moving handrail.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of a moving handrail entrance / exit device for a passenger conveyor according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view of an entrance / exit portion showing an embodiment of a moving handrail entrance / exit device for a passenger conveyor according to the present invention.

In general, the passenger conveyor 1 moves along a moving handrail frame 2 as shown in FIG.
And an inlet 5 installed at a side end portion of a deck cover 4 that covers a lower portion of the passenger conveyor 1, and a cover plate 7 provided at an entrance / exit 6.

Then, a detection device 10 for detecting an object approaching the entrance / exit portion 9 of the moving handrail 3 is provided in a machine room 8 provided under the cover plate 7, and the detection device 10 is turned on according to the detection by the detection device 10 to turn red. An illumination body 11 that emits light is provided. In addition, a transparent plate member, for example, a glass plate 12 that transmits the light of the illuminating body 11 is arranged on a part of the cover plate 7 described above.

In this embodiment, when the passenger conveyor 1 is in operation, passengers, for example, infants, enter and exit the entrance 9
Approaching, the detection device 10 detects this, and then
The illuminating body 11 is turned on according to the detection of the output device 10, and the vicinity of the inlet 5 is illuminated with red light through the glass plate 12. That is, the illuminating body 11 is turned on only when the passenger approaches the doorway 9.

In the embodiment constructed in this way, it is possible to surely call attention to a passenger approaching the entrance / exit 9 of the moving handrail 3, that is, an infant. Further, when the infant approaches the entrance / exit portion 9, this can be informed to other persons nearby, especially the parent.

In the present embodiment, the illuminating body 11 is turned on in response to the detection of the detection device 10, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a buzzer or the like that sounds in response to the detection of the detection device 10 is also provided. , It is also possible to make the alert more reliable.

[0013]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to surely call attention to a passenger approaching the entrance / exit of a moving handrail, thereby improving the safety of the passenger conveyor. it can.
