Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a movable handrail guide device for a curved man conveyor in which unusual abrasion on the inner surface of a movable handrail can be prevented and the inner surface of the movable handrail will not be damaged even if the outer peripheral surface of a handrail guide joint part has slight difference in level. CONSTITUTION:In a movable handrail guide at the return side of a curved man conveyor, the movable handrail guide is provided in its whole length except a handrail driving part with a flexible plastic-made handrail guide 3b' having sufficient width to reduce bearing by force applied to the center of circular curvature of a horizontal projection surface in cross section and having a groove for inserting a metal-made core material 8b. In the horizontal projection surface, the metal-made core material 8b bent with predetermined center of curvature is inserted in the whole-length handrail guide except a movable handrail length adjustment part.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a moving handrail guiding device for a curved man conveyor, and more particularly to a moving handrail guiding device for a return path of a man conveyor which has an arc shape on a horizontal projection plane.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a moving handrail guide device for a curved passenger conveyor of this type, there is one shown in FIGS. Figure 3
Is a side view of the curved man conveyor, and FIG. 4 is a horizontal projection plan view of the curved man conveyor. In both figures, 1 is a step and 2 is a step.
Is a moving handrail that moves in synchronization with the steps, and 3 is a handrail guide that guides and supports the returning handrail.

FIG. 5 is a developed side view of the II cross section of FIG. 4, 3a is an upper return handrail guide, 3b is a middle return handrail guide, 3c is a return handrail length adjustment. Department,
3d is a lower return handrail guide, 4 is a handrail drive device for driving the moving handrail in a predetermined direction, and 5a and 5b are joints that join the return handrail guide ends, which are divided into several parts. It is a member.

Reference numeral 6 is a bracket for fixing each return-side handrail guide to a truss (not shown) of the main frame, and is provided at three or more places for each return-side handrail guide. Reference numeral 7 denotes a gap provided between the return handrail guides 3b and 3c. By adjusting the gap amount (by moving the fixed position of the upper end of the return handrail guide 3c), the installation length of the return handrail guide The length is adjusted to the length of the moving handrail. In this case, the position of the return handrail guide 3c becomes 3c 'or 3c "depending on the gap amount of the gap 7.

Further, FIG. 6 is a view seen from II-II in FIG. 5, and FIG. 7 is a III-III cross section in FIG. 6 and 7 both show the central return handrail guide, both of which are drawn on the basis of the technique of a normal straight type conveyor. As shown in FIG. 7, the handrail guide is formed of a forming roll material such as a stainless steel plate and has a groove portion for fixing a key portion with a screw seat 8a.

[0006]

By the way, in the moving handrail guide device of the curved passenger conveyor having the above-mentioned structure,
As shown in FIG. 6, the handrail guide is bent to a predetermined curvature R in the horizontal projection plane, and a force F toward the center of curvature acts due to the running resistance of the moving handrail (in a normal linear man conveyor, this F Does not occur). Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the width 9c of the inner surface of the moving handrail is smaller than the width 9c of the handrail guide.
Since a is small, a large surface pressure is generated in the portion 10a due to the force F, which causes abnormal wear on the inner surface (canvas surface) of the return side moving handrail in this portion, and abnormally increases handrail running resistance. .. Further, in FIG. 6, if there is a slight step on the outer peripheral surface 11 of the handrail guide joint portion, there is a problem that the inner surface of the moving handrail (canvas surface) is damaged by the force F.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and can prevent abnormal wear of the inner surface of the moving handrail in the curved man-conveyor, so that the outer surface of the handrail guide joint portion can be prevented. Provided is a moving handrail guide device for a curved man conveyor which does not damage the inner surface of the moving handrail even if there is a slight step.

[0008]

According to the present invention, there is provided a moving handrail guide device for a curved man conveyer, which guides a moving handrail on the return side of the curved man conveyer by means of a force directed toward an arcuate curvature center of a horizontal projection plane. A metal core that has a flexible plastic handrail guide with a sufficient width to reduce the surface pressure and has a groove for inserting a metal core material and is bent to a predetermined curvature in the horizontal projection plane. The material is inserted into the entire length of the handrail guide excluding the moving handrail length adjusting portion.

[0009]

In the present invention, in the return handrail guidance,
A flexible plastic handrail guide having a sufficient width and a groove for inserting a metal core material is arranged over the entire length, and the metal core material bent to a predetermined curvature is moved. Except for the abnormal insertion of the inner surface of the moving handrail which reduces the surface pressure due to the force F toward the center of curvature by inserting the handrail guide over its entire length, even if there is a slight step on the outer peripheral surface of the handrail guide joint. Does not damage the inner surface of the moving handrail.

[0010]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 are views corresponding to FIGS. 6 and 7 according to the present embodiment, in which 3b 'is a flexible plastic handrail guide, and this portion is usually linear. Reference numeral 8b denotes a metal long core material bent to a predetermined curvature R, which is inserted over the entire length of the middle return handrail guide 3b '. The long core material 8b allows the return handrail guide 3b' to have a predetermined shape. The curvature R is secured. Reference numeral 8'denotes a screw portion for fixing the long core material.

As shown in FIG. 2, the width 9b of the handrail guide is slightly smaller than the width 9c of the inner surface of the moving handrail. Therefore, the surface pressure generating portion 10b is the front surface pressure generating portion 10a.
Since it becomes larger, the surface pressure due to the force F can be reduced, and abnormal wear of the inner surface of the moving handrail can be prevented.
Further, since the handrail guide is made of plastic, even if there is a slight step on the outer peripheral surface 11 of the handrail guide joint portion, the moving handrail is not damaged. Further, since the width of the long core material 8b is narrower than the width of the handrail guide 3b, there is an advantage that the bending work to the predetermined curvature R is easy.

Incidentally, here, the return handrail guide 3 in the central part
I explained about b ', but the upper handrail guide 3a
The same applies to (corresponding place) and lower return handrail guidance (3d equivalent place). However, the length adjustment section 3 for the return handrail guide
As shown in FIG. 5, c has a mounting position of 3c ′ or 3c ″ according to the length of the moving handrail,
The long core as described above is not attached, and the number of attachments of the screw seat 8a and the bracket 6 is increased to cope with the problem.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, there is provided a flexible plastic handrail guide having a sufficient width in the return handrail guide and having a groove for inserting a metal core material. Abnormal wear on the inner surface of the moving handrail that reduces the surface pressure due to the force F toward the center of curvature by inserting the metal core material that is arranged over the entire length and bent to a predetermined curvature into the entire length of the handrail guide excluding the moving handrail length adjustment portion. In addition, even if there is a slight step on the outer peripheral side surface of the handrail guide joint portion, the inner surface of the moving handrail is not damaged and the handrail can have a long life.
