Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a passenger conveyor such as an escalator or an electric road, and relates to a configuration suitable for transporting wheeled vehicles such as wheelchairs and carts in a stable manner.

In today's world where we are aiming to create advanced welfare environments, there are transportation systems that have been specially devised so that even people with disabilities can move around relatively freely. It is desired that an A-strip structure be adopted. Especially in recent years, escalators have become an indispensable means of transportation within Tsumutan, and it is expected that escalators will emerge that can be easily used by people with disabilities or disabilities.

However, at present, the installation angle and driving speed, which greatly affect the psychology of escalator users, do not cause any inconvenience to the general public who are healthy, but people with physical disabilities and people with disabilities have difficulty being agile when getting on and off the escalator. For these people, who are unable to use escalators due to lack of safety, the installation angle should be made smaller to increase the sense of stability while riding, and the operating speed should be made slower to make it easier to get on and off. It is necessary to adopt measures for this purpose. In addition, there is a need for escalators that have special consideration for people who have difficulty walking and use wheelchairs so that they can ride the escalators while remaining in their wheelchairs.

Furthermore, at department stores, etc., it was not possible to safely ride the Yanagawa cart with the cart still on it. this is,
Wheelchairs and carts have wheels and cannot be stably ridden on treads.

Therefore, in consideration of the above points, this study provides an escalator that can be safely used when using a wheelchair or cart.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional escalator includes a handrail 1 that stands upright on both sides of the passenger compartment, and a handrail 2 that rotates at the upper end of the handrail 1. It is well known that the step 3 rotates in the same direction at the same speed as the trail 2 and carries passengers, and the top and rear surfaces of the step 3 are constructed of cleats 3a and risers 3b, etc., which have unevenness. If a wheelchair gets into this, it will be in an unstable state as shown in Figure 2. That is, the dimensions of the wheelchair 20 are 1065 mm in total length according to the JIS standard.
The overall width is 650 mm or less, and the front wheel 20a has a large diameter so that it can be rotated by hand and the rear wheel 20b can be rotated by hand. In addition, there are hand-made wheelchairs that are outside the scope of JiSi, and wheelchairs with a total length of about 600 mm that are made specifically for children. Both of these wheelchairs have long step dimensions S (generally around 400 mm), so the wheelchair
The front wheels 20a and the rear wheels 20b of the wheelchair 20 would be stuck in the steps 3 that are adjacent to each other, and the wheelchair 20 would not be kept in a horizontal state, and in the worst case, there was a risk of falling. Therefore, the present invention is characterized by providing a support 10 on the upper surface of the step 3 as shown in FIG. .

That is, on the upper surface of the cleat 3a constituting the step 3, there is provided a support 10 with a forward dimension that is longer than the total length of the wheelchair zO so that the front wheels 20a and the rear wheels 20b of the wheelchair 20 can ride on the same horizontal plane. The wheelchair 20 is configured to be carried stably. Further, the support body 10 is provided with a protrusion lOa'ft that engages with the retaining hole 3C provided in the cleat 3a of the step 3, so that the step 3 can be easily attached and detached.

Further, the support body 10 includes a wheelchair 20 as shown in FIG.
The crescent-shaped recess fob into which the front wheel 20a fits and the recess lOC into which the rear wheel @ 20b fits are provided in accordance with the execution and width of the wheelchair, thereby further increasing the stability of the wheelchair. It's increasing.

According to the present invention, there is no need for a special escalator with a small installation angle for transporting #jinsha and shopping Yanagawa carts, and a general escalator can be used to horizontally transport wheelchairs and shopping Yanagawa carts useful in garages. A remarkable effect can be expected in that it can be transported in a stable state.
