Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a most reasonable method for joining base boards in a reciprocating moving foot walk. CONSTITUTION:The center part of the front side of a base board 1 is rotatably connected to an accelerating medium 4 so that the board 11 and the board 12 are closely spaced at the straight part and the boards advance without being separated from each other, and the rotation of extremely small radius may be obtained in the U-turn part, the center part of the side surface of the front board 1a is rotatably connected to the front end part of the side surface of the rear board 1b by using a bar 6 on the inner side. During the U-turn, the rear board 1b pushes up the front board 1a, the board 1 is laid on end, the space of the boards is narrowed, and the radius of the U-turn part can be narrowed as required. The center part of the rear side part of the front board 1a together with the center part of the front side part of the rear board 1b is rotatably connected to the upper edge part of the accelerating medium 4 for every other board, and the respective corner parts of the board 1 which are the respective ends of the side surface at the inner side part of each board 1 are rotatably connected in a non-expandable manner, and during the U-turn, each two boards 1 are set upright to form a triangle, and the space of the boards is narrowed.

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional reciprocating moving walkway, the base plate and the base plate are closely attached to each other at the upper edge of the acceleration medium chain or belt so that the base plate and the base plate are closely attached to each other in a straight traveling portion. One point in the center was rotatably fixed. By doing this, during U-turn, the base plate is centered on the acceleration medium running in the center of the orbit,
It overlapped on the inside and opened on the outside to allow a U-turn. In addition, a method has been adopted in which every other base plate is divided into upper and lower two layers in the U-turn portion, and the U-turn is performed by increasing the distance between the base plates.

[0003]

In a moving walkway where people get on and off, the base plates must always be in close contact with each other, but it is desirable to connect at two or more places for this purpose. Also, when making a U-turn, the base plates must not rub each other and must make a U-turn with a smaller radius.

[0004]

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the base plate and the base plate are connected at two places,
Moreover, this connection method intends to enable rotation at a smaller radius.

EXAMPLES AND OPERATION OF THE INVENTION

(1) As shown in [Figs. 1, 2, 3],
Each base plate (1) has an acceleration medium (4) near the center of its front edge.
It is rotatably fixed to the upper edge (9). Also, in the areas of the inside when the U-turn, from the tip (7) of the base plate (1 ₁₎ as shown in At a side surface of the base plate [3], before the base plate (1 ₂₎ A bar (6) is attached to a point (8) near the center of the side face to rotatably secure the bar. Also, (7)
The lengths from (8) to (8) and from (8) to (9) are almost equal. In this document, the inside refers to the side that becomes inside when making a U-turn.

As described above, since each base plate is fixed at two places, the center and the inner side, when the sidewalk progresses, it does not bend in the straight-ahead portion, it does not sway and moves in close contact. Further, in the U-turn portion, the acceleration medium maintains the same length, and the orbit becomes longer on the outer side and shorter on the inner side. Therefore, the base plate must be spread on the outside and overlap on the inside, but in the present invention, since the central portion of the base plate is rotatably fixed to the accelerating medium as described above, centering here The base plate tries to sneak into the front base plate inside, but [Fig. 1] (1a, 1b, 1
As shown in c), the bar pushes up the front base plate at the same time, and pushes up the front base plates one after another, reducing the space between the base plates to 0 at the minimum. And the spacing can be reduced, allowing U-turns with very small radii. Further, although the base plate and the base plate are connected by the bar (6), the position does not necessarily have to be the side face, and the force of pushing up a little when the position is slightly closer to the center is sufficient.

[0007]

2. In the case of (2), the inside corners of each base plate are rotatably connected to each other without expansion and contraction (13 '), and the rear side of the front base plate and
The front side of the rear base plate is the position in contact with the accelerating medium in the central part,
They are rotatably connected to each other and to the accelerating medium. However, a hinge (12 ') connection may be used as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 as long as it does not hinder the function of the groove on the surface of the base plate.

[0008]

According to claim 2, since the accelerating medium maintains the same length in the U-turn part, the outer side of the track extends and the inner side contracts, but the front base plate ( Since the front side of 1'b) is fixed to the accelerating medium, it is pressed by the rear base plate (1'a) and bent (Fig. 4] (1 ').
a) and (1'b), make Δdef inside it,
The base plate interval can be made extremely narrow.

[0009]

[Effect]

The first and second inventions have a simple structure. Since the two base plates are raised, the distance between them can be almost close to 0, and the radius of the U-turn can be made very small. Since the three plates are connected at two places (the center is via an accelerating medium), the straightness is good. Part 4 You can make a smooth U-turn.

Regarding the connection of the base plate, both ends are the best, but since it is not possible, it is better to shift the position of the accelerating medium to the outside a little.
