Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Technical Field The present invention relates to a device for guiding passengers at the entrance of an escalator or a moving walkway. Below, the same applies to escalators (= moving sidewalks that can be obstructed).

Φ) Conventional technology and its problems Escalators have endlessly connected steps that move between the upper and lower entrances, railings on both sides of the assassination (two devices), and move on these railings in synchronization with the steps. It is composed of two movers, Dr. 2, and transports passengers.

The entrance to the escalator is endless as shown in Figure 1 1 = C; Comb 2, which is the boundary of the part where the connected steps 1 appear, is attached, and the floor 3 of the building and the passengers getting on and off are guided. The boarding board 4, both ends of the steps 1 (2) include a handrail 5, and a handrail part 6, which is the terminal end of the handrail and extends an appropriate length from the comb 2 to the sandbar floor 3 to guide passengers getting on and off. It consists of

Passengers boarding the escalator, which is constructed in this way, pass from the building floor 3 through the boarding board 4 and the handrail section 6ζ to the com section 2, and then move continuously from the com section 2. Stairs 1: Get on the escalator and use the escalator. At this time, the passenger emerges from the com part 2 of the stair L. C: In order to enter the escalator C square, take the tie 2 while holding the handrail C or tb. However, those who are not familiar with the escalator, such as women and children, cannot get on the escalator easily (2nd time), so it is normal to stop near the comm section 2 and then get on the escalator (2nd time).

By the way, in recent years, the role of escalators as a means of public transportation used by general passengers has increased, and they are increasingly being used for train arrival platforms such as station buildings. For escalator C2, the operating speed is about 30 m/+ (500 aw/sec), and the depth of the dark step is about 400 W, so the interval between each step appearing in the com part of the entrance/exit is 0. Therefore, for example, in an escalator designed to carry 1 passenger on step i1R + 2 passengers, a simple calculation will take 0.8 seconds.
It should be able to carry passengers at a rate of about 1 second (= 1 person).

However, when two passengers board the escalator (2), as mentioned above, they cannot synchronize the timing of the appearance of the steps and get on the next step (1). This requires a longer time than 0.8 seconds, resulting in a decrease in transport capacity.

As a result, although it is temporary on station platforms,
Home (It was also dangerous as two people would have to stay there.

(C) Purpose and Summary of the Invention The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks, smoothes the flow of passengers boarding the escalator, increases transportation capacity,
It also improves safety at and around escalator entrances and exits.

In the present invention, the time from the appearance of one step to the appearance of the next successive step is shorter than the time from the appearance of one step to the appearance of the next successive step in accordance with all the steps 1 appearing from the com part 2 at least at the entrance of the escalator. A device is installed that generates a guiding sound such as a buzzer or chime for a certain period of time.

(d) Examples of the invention An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a boarding entrance corresponding to FIG. 1, and 7 is a built-in guide sound generating device such as a buzzer and chime inside the parapet manual section 6.

The lower part of Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 show an example of the comb section 2 (= synchronization S!! position for synchronizing the appearing step 1 and the generation of the guidance sound. This is a cross section of Figure 1.
In the figure, 8 is a small switch, 9 is an operating piece of the small switch, 10 is a wheel of a step, and 11 is a guide rail for guiding the step 1. In this embodiment, the part located slightly behind the comb 2 on the guide rail 11 (two-hand hole 1
2 is provided, and the operating piece 9 of the small switch 8 is arranged so as to protrude from this, and as the step 1 passes, the step front wheel 1
0 operates the actuating piece 9 of the small switch, and at the same time or a little before the step L emerges from the com 2, C: 1' is configured to operate the circuit that generates the guiding sound from the guiding sound generating device 7. . 2 and 3 (-) 22 is a truss, 23 is the turban of the small switch 8, and 24 is a step chain connecting the steps.

Furthermore, FIG. 4 is an example of a guidance sound generation circuit diagram according to the present invention, and is an example in which guidance sound is generated only on the boarding side of the entrance/exit. In FIG. 4, when the start switch 12 is put into the UP contact 13IilI for upward operation, the upward relay UP14 is turned on and the self-holding UP contact 15 is closed. Furthermore, when the small switch 8 on the lower floor passes the step (2), when it is activated, the relay L817 is energized, the L8 contact 18 is closed, the time limit relay 19 is turned on, and the current flows for a predetermined time. The contact point 20 closes.As a result, after the escalator starts, the lower floor side com section 2
After step 1 appears, the next step appears.For a short period of time [2], the lower floor guidance sound generator [21] is activated and generates the guidance sound. Become. The same applies to the case of descending operation.

In the above configuration (2), when a passenger gets on the steps at the entrance of an escalator, he or she not only visually determines the timing of getting on the step, but also auditory C2. Compared to the conventional method, getting onto the steps is much smoother.

(e) Effects of the invention As a result of the above results, the accumulation of passengers at the entrance when mixed fibers is reduced, the safety near the entrance and exit is improved, and the transportation capacity can be increased.

Furthermore, even for passengers who are not accustomed to using escalators, it becomes easier to board the escalator (and to time the process properly), thereby improving safety when boarding the escalator.
