Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a passenger conveyor entrance / exit illumination device provided inside a balustrade of a passenger entrance / exit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 3 is a side view showing an entrance / exit of a conventional outdoor type escalator disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-12572, and FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line IV-IV of FIG. It is a figure. In the figure, 1 is a step, 2 is a floor board of an entrance / exit, 3 is an inner panel of a balustrade made of stainless steel plate, 3a is an end inner panel located at the entrance, 3b is an inner end panel 3a. It is the inner panel of the adjacent curved portion.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a rubber handrail that moves in synchronization with step 1. Reference numeral 5 denotes a guard rail for guiding and supporting the rubber handrail 4 and inserting and holding the inner surface panel 3. Reference numeral 6 denotes a ridge for pressing a lower side portion of the inner surface panel 3. Is a disc-shaped illumination cover fitted in a circular opening provided in the end inner surface panel 3a, and is made of a milky white translucent resin plate or the like. Reference numeral 8 denotes a ring-shaped joint for pressing the peripheral edge of the lighting cover 7, and the joint 8 and the end inner surface panel 3 are provided.
The illuminating cover 7 is fixed by sandwiching the peripheral edge of the illuminating cover 7 between the stopper plate 3c welded to a and tightening with the decorative screw 9.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a luminaire box attached to a structure inside the balustrade, and illuminating parts such as a circular fluorescent lamp 11, a ballast 12 and a glow starter 13 are housed therein. Reference numeral 14 is a translucent cover fixed to the luminaire box 10 with a tightening screw 15, and 16 is a power distribution line drawn from the luminaire box 10.

In the conventional entrance / exit lighting device as described above,
Since it is difficult to make the base portion and the socket portion of the circular fluorescent lamp 11 waterproof, it is necessary to attach the translucent cover 14 to the lighting equipment box 10.
The box that is attached has a waterproof structure. Due to such a structure, the tightening screw 15 of the translucent cover 14 is inevitably located outside the outer shape of the lighting cover 7, and the circular fluorescent lamp 11, the ballast 12, and the glow starter 1 are provided.
In order to inspect and replace 3, etc., it is necessary to remove the end inner surface panel 3a in order to remove the tightening screw 15.

[0006]

In the conventional entrance / exit illuminating device constructed as described above, it is necessary to remove the end inner surface panel 3a in order to inspect and replace the lighting parts. Since the panel 3a also has a swallowing allowance 17 for the guardrail 5 at the tip thereof, in order to remove the end inner surface panel 3a, the adjacent curved inner surface panel 3b is used.
It is necessary to remove first, and after all, when inspecting and exchanging the lighting parts, a wide range of parts such as the ridge 6, the end inner surface panel 3a and the bent inner surface panel 3b must be removed. -After the replacement, it had to be installed in the original state, which was very troublesome.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and provides an entrance / exit illumination device for a passenger conveyor which allows easy inspection / replacement of illumination parts. With the goal.

[0008]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a passenger conveyor entrance / exit lighting device in which a lighting equipment box is attached to a back surface of an inner panel, and between the inner surface panel and the lighting equipment box, and an inner surface panel. Also, a sealing material is provided between the lighting panel and the joint to make the lighting equipment box waterproof.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a lighting device box for a passenger conveyor, in which a lighting equipment box is attached to a back surface of an inner panel, and between the inner surface panel and the lighting equipment box, and between the inner surface panel and the lighting panel and joints. By providing a sealing material between and
The lighting equipment box has a waterproof structure, and a waterproof connector is provided in the middle of the distribution line so that the distribution line can be divided.

[0010]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the joint and the lighting cover are removed from the surface of the inner panel to open the inside of the lighting equipment box, and the lighting parts housed therein are inspected and replaced.

According to the second aspect of the invention, when it is necessary to remove the inner panel for inspection other than the lighting device, the distribution line is divided at the waterproof connector.

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view showing an entrance / exit of an outdoor installation type escalator having an entrance / exit lighting device according to an embodiment of the invention of claims 1 and 2, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line II-II of FIG. It is a figure, and the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to FIG.3 and FIG.4 or an equivalent part, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

In the figure, reference numeral 21 is a lighting fixture box directly fixed to a stud 22 which is welded to the back surface of the end inner surface panel 3a, and inside thereof is a circular fluorescent lamp 11 and a ballast 12 as in the conventional case. Also, lighting components such as the glow starter 13 are stored. 23 is packing as a sealing material provided between the back surface of the end inner surface panel 3a and the lighting equipment box 21, and 24 is provided between the front surface of the end inner surface panel 3a and between the lighting panel 7 and the joint 8. Which is a packing as a sealing material, and these packings 23,
By 24, the lighting equipment box 21 has a waterproof structure.

Numeral 25 is in the middle of the distribution line 16 (lighting equipment box 21
Of the distribution line 1
6 can be divided at this portion. In this embodiment, since the lighting fixture box 21 is attached to the end inner surface panel 3a, the light-transmitting cover 14 and its fastening screw 15 shown in the conventional example are unnecessary.

In the entrance / exit illuminating device constructed as described above, when inspecting / replacement of the illumination parts in the luminaire box 21, it suffices to remove the ring-shaped joint 8 and the illumination cover 7, It is not necessary to remove the inner panels 3a and 3b. Therefore, the inspection / replacement work of the lighting parts becomes a light work in a short time.

When it is necessary to remove the end inner surface panel 3a for inspections other than the lighting device, the distribution line 16
Is divided by the waterproof connector 25, the workability can be improved.

Although the packings 23 and 24 are shown as the sealing materials in the above embodiment, it is sufficient that the lighting equipment box 21 has a waterproof structure, for example, a sealing agent may be filled. Further, in the above embodiment, the case of the outdoor escalator is shown, but the installation place is not particularly limited, and it goes without saying that it may be an entrance / exit lighting device of a moving sidewalk.

[0018]

As described above, in the entrance / exit lighting device for a passenger conveyor according to the first aspect of the present invention, since the lighting equipment box has a waterproof structure and is attached to the back surface of the inner panel, the lighting parts are inspected and replaced. There is an effect that it can be easily performed without removing the inner panel.

Further, in the passenger conveyor entrance / exit lighting device according to the invention of claim 2, a waterproof connector is provided in the middle of the distribution line, and the distribution line can be divided at this portion. In addition to the same effect, when the inner panel is removed for inspection other than the lighting device, the distribution line can be divided to improve workability.
