Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a passenger conveyor such as an escalator or an electric road, and particularly to a measure for improving the safety of a passenger conveyor including steps.

Although passenger conveyors have been popular mainly in Bungata department stores and superstores, they are also beginning to enter new fields such as station premises and pedestrian bridges. As a result, the number of users has become increasingly diverse, making it necessary to take unprecedented safety measures when designing passenger conveyors.

As shown in Figure 1, the passenger conveyor consists of a step that is arranged in an endless manner and ascends or descends while carrying passengers, a no-trail 2 that rotates in tandem with the step 1, and a rail that stands upright between these two rotating bodies. It consists of a fixed handrail 3, a skirt 4 fixed to the handrail 3 with a rotating step 1 and a space between FJ g1, and nine floors 5 provided at the upper and lower entrances. .

In fact, as is well known, the rotating steps 1 move relative to each other when transitioning from the inclined part of the passenger conveyor to the horizontal part of the upper and lower entrances. A minimum HOIII barrier g2 is also provided between steps 1 and 1.

Therefore, passengers who behave particularly badly and lean towards the skirt guard 4, or passengers who ride on the front end of step 1, are at risk of having their shoes or other items caught in their clothes by these gates 1 and 2. Kameru.

As a solution to this problem, a cleat s that comes out from the tread of step l
It has become common practice to place caution zones Yt on three sides and 19t squares (the four sides are not shown) around a single field, heavily colored yellow or the like to indicate dangerous areas.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 2, a lamp 6 is disposed below the step 1 at the upper and lower entrances, and the light from the lamp 6 is transmitted through the gap g1 between the skirt guard 4 and the step 1. Step 1
Some methods have also been put into practice, in which light leaks through the gap g2 between the two, informing customers of the existence of the gaps gl and g2, and alerting them. However, even with such a structure, the safety effect is low because only a small amount of light leaked from the gates g1 and g2 can be visually appealed to the users.

Therefore, in consideration of this point, the present invention makes use of a warning sign that is commonly used these days, and irradiates light from the back side of the warning sign to clearly display the dangerous area of the step to the user, greatly improving safety. Good things are being done to improve the quality of life.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

In Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the basic structure of the steps and lamps is the same as the conventional one. (preferably semi-transparent).

That is, by making the attention body YN transparent or semi-transparent, the light from the nine lamps 60 can be placed below the step l.
As before, the gap g1 between the skirt guard 4 and step l
, clearly indicates the gap g2 between the steps and the attention body YN
In order to strongly emphasize the existence of cautionary body sounds to customers by transmitting
Passengers can clearly know the warning points YN, which greatly improves safety.

By changing and combining the color tone of the trench puller and caution body YN and the luminescent color of the rung L, it is possible to provide a passenger conveyor with a gorgeous entrance and exit that has never been seen before, and it is not only safe but also has a design effect. It can be increased.

As explained above, the present invention has the advantage that the safety of the entrance/exit which can be operated in one step is greatly improved.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

The at figure is a perspective view showing the vicinity of the upper entrance of the passenger conveyor.
Figure 1112 is a cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the upper entrance, Figure 3 and the following are drawings related to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is a perspective view of the 1st figure phase, and Figure 4 is a sectional view equivalent to Figure 2. I'll go.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A passenger conveyor comprising a cleat having a large number of grooves along the traveling direction of the passenger conveyor, and a step consisting of a warning body installed around the cleat, wherein the warning body is made of a translucent material. and a lamp metal is disposed below the cleat to prevent mold.
