Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To dispense with a ballast fitting base and shorten time for ballast fitting work by fitting a ballast to a frame through a ballast mounting bracket having ballast fitting holes and frame fitting holes. SOLUTION: A ballast mounting bracket 7 for fitting a ballast 6 is provided with ballast fitting holes 7A and frame fitting holes 7B. At the time of replacing the ballast 6, a new ballast 6 is fastened to the ballast fitting holes 7A of the ballast mounting bracket 7 by machine screws. After an electric wire is removed from the existing ballast, the existing ballast is detached from a frame. The new ballast 6 is fitted to the frame using the frame fitting holes 7B of the ballast fitting bracket 7, and the electric wire is connected to the ballast 6. Ballast replacing work can therefore be performed in a short time.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an escalator lighting device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, when the product specification of a ballast for a fluorescent lamp changes, the position of a ballast mounting screw changes. for that reason,
As an escalator lighting device capable of shortening ballast replacement work, one or several ballast mounts are provided in a frame in JP-A-7-247093, and a plurality of ballast mounts are provided on the ballast mount. In some cases, a ballast is mounted, and the ballast mount can be pulled out of the frame.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned proposal, not only is a new ballast mount required, but also the work of mounting the ballast mount and the wiring work by setting the mounting place to the lower machine room. For example, there is a problem that it takes a lot of time.

An object of the present invention is to provide an escalator lighting device which does not require a ballast mount and can shorten the operation time for mounting a ballast.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a handrail frame which guides a moving handrail on an outer periphery and forms a balustrade periphery provided with a groove on an inner periphery. A plurality of fluorescent lamps mounted in the groove of the handrail frame, a frame supporting the handrail frame and the balustrade, and a plurality of ballasts connected to the plurality of fluorescent lamps one by one; An escalator lighting device including at least the plurality of ballasts provided in the frame, wherein the ballast is mounted on the frame via a ballast mounting bracket having a ballast mounting hole and a frame mounting hole. Things.

[0006] With this configuration, a new ballast is previously mounted on the ballast mounting hole of the ballast mounting bracket, and the old ballast is removed from the escalator frame. Since a new ballast is mounted on the frame by using the ballast, it is not necessary to install a ballast mount and the ballast mounting time can be shortened.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a ballast and a ballast mounting bracket according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic side view of an escalator according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, a fluorescent lamp 1 has a handrail frame 2.
The electric wire 3 is mounted in a groove (not shown) provided on the inner circumference of the handrail, and the handrail frame 2, the balustrade 4, and the frame (not shown)
Is connected to the ballast 6 through the inside of the truss 5 composed of. The ballast mounting bracket 7 for mounting the ballast 6 has a ballast mounting hole 7A and a frame mounting hole 7B.

Now, when replacing the ballast 6, first, a new ballast 6 is inserted into the ballast mounting hole 7 of the ballast mounting bracket 7.
A is screwed in advance. Next, after removing the wire 3 from the existing ballast, remove the existing ballast from the frame,
The ballast 6 is mounted on the frame using the frame mounting holes 7B of the ballast mounting bracket 7 and the electric wires 3 are connected to the ballast 6, so that the ballast 6 can be replaced in a short time.

[0011]

According to the present invention, a new ballast is previously mounted in the ballast mounting hole of the ballast mounting bracket, and after removing the old ballast from the escalator frame, the ballast mounting hole of the ballast mounting bracket is removed. Since a new ballast is mounted on the frame by using, there is no need to install a ballast mount, and the ballast mounting time can be reduced.
