Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a passenger conveyor such as an escalator or an electric road, and particularly relates to a parapet structure that is simple in structure and has high design and economic efficiency.

[Background of the invention]

There are two typical configurations of conventional passenger conveyors: the configurations shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the configurations shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

The configuration of FIGS. 1 and 2 consists of a rotating body consisting of an endlessly arranged and rotating step 1 and a handrail 2, a handrail 3,
It consists of a stationary body such as a main body frame part 4, and all the components are mounted under the floor of the building, and its feature is that the handrail deck 5 is provided on the parapet 3.

This 30th edition silk balustrade includes a glass panel 6 installed below the handrail deck 5 forming the guide frame of the handrail 2 with a gap g in between, an inner deck 7, a deck 8
, a scardger 9, etc. are arranged, and furthermore, a lighting device 11 whose main component is a lamp 10 is installed directly below the handrail deck 5 to illuminate the entire passenger conveyor.

Here, the handrail structure shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes high-grade stainless steel tl for the handrail deck 5, inner deck 7, outer deck 8, etc. The metal luster, the transparency of the glass panel 6, and the light rays of the lighting device 11 combine to make it a luxury passenger conveyor of the highest quality.

On the other hand, the balustrade configurations shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are gaining overwhelming popularity in terms of transparency, safety, and energy saving, which the balustrade 3 using the handrail deck 5 does not have.

These balustrades 12 are considered to be the weak point of the balustrade 3. (1) Energy consumption problem Recently, there have been some cases in which the lighting devices 11 are turned off for the purpose of energy saving, but in this case, as shown in Figure 2, the ceiling light There is a drawback that the light rays cannot be efficiently directed to the step 1 side as shown by arrow M. In the case of a passenger conveyor, although it is necessary to provide sufficient light for passengers to use the vehicle safely, the handrail deck 5 is in the way and limits the incident angle θ1 of the light beam, resulting in a reduction in lighting efficiency.

(2) Safety and aesthetic issues The safest usage mode for passengers is to stand on the step 1 and hold the handrail 2 in an upright, immobile position, but there are rare cases where the passenger leans on the handrail 3. In this case, since the handrail deck 5 protrudes from the moving handrail 2 by δ (shown in Figure 2) toward the passenger, there is a danger that the leaning human body will be pulled in the opposite direction to the direction of movement in step 1. have a factor. Furthermore, there is also an aesthetic defect in that wear debris from the handrail 2 accumulates on the plane of this protrusion.

(3) Economical issue Directly below the handrail deck 5, and also with the glass panel 6
Since the lighting device 11 is located on the back side of the lamp, maintenance work associated with the life of the lamp must be done by leaning out from the step 1 side. There are major safety issues for personnel.

There are other issues.

In addition, the balustrade 12, which has recently become popular, is noteworthy as a balustrade form that solves the problems mentioned above.

This balustrade 12 has a glass panel 18 installed on the lower sap material of the balustrade, including an inner deck 14, a packing 15, an outer deck 16, a support 17, etc., which have substantially the same functions as the balustrade 3, and a handrail 2 at the upper end of the glass panel 18. Guide frame 1 that almost fits inside the inner circumference of
9, a guide 2o, a gasket 21, a fixing screw 22, a nut 23, and the like. Then, at the upper end of the glass panel 18, a notch 18a with a width J11 and a depth J2 is made with a fine pinch, and the notch 21a of the gasket 21, screws 22, and fasteners 1 to 23 are arranged at positions that match this notch 18a. These are combined with a guide frame 19 having a grip groove 19a of the glass panel 18 and a groove 19b for mounting the guide 2o, and are implanted as shown in FIG.

The form of this balustrade 12 has the above-mentioned incident angle θ1 of the balustrade 3 expanded to 02 because all the materials for guiding the handrail 2 are housed in the handrail 2 with a thickness of ha, and also has shortcomings such as safety and economy. Everything has been completely designed, and the transparency of the glass panel 18 has been particularly praised.

The above-described balustrade 3 and balustrade 12 have been praised for their respective features of luxury and transparency, and have become mainstream in recent passenger conveyors.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention applies to the above-mentioned FIGS. 1 and 2, as well as FIGS. 3 and 4.
In order to maximize the features of the balustrades 3 and 12 shown in the figure, while maintaining the transparency of the balustrade 12, we added a lighting device and a light reflecting device to improve design, safety and economy. This was done in order to print the handrails of the passenger conveyor, which had excellent characteristics.

[Summary of the invention]

The main structure of the present invention is to provide a balustrade structure in which a lighting device is placed at the lower side of the balustrade 12, and a light reflecting device is further placed directly below the handrail 2 to provide optical effects of illumination and reflection. .

[Embodiments of the invention]

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

In FIG. 5, parts such as the inner deck 14, glass panel 18, glass frame 19, and guide 20 that make up the balustrade 12 are the same as those in the conventional FIG. 3, but in the present invention, the outer deck 16 is notched. 6 a, and place lamp 2 here.
4. A lighting device 26 consisting of a lighting cover 25 is disposed continuously in the longitudinal direction of the passenger conveyor, while a light reflecting device 27 having a mirror reflective surface 27a is provided on the lower surface of the guide 20 directly below the handrail 2. There are certain characteristics. Here, the illumination device 26 protrudes from the upper surface of the outer deck 16 by an amount A, and is designed to form a continuous illumination line that looks beautiful when the passenger conveyor is viewed from the side.

On the other hand, the light reflecting device 27 is configured to reflect the light k from the lamp 24 toward the outside of the passenger conveyor as if it were a reflected light, thereby making the parapet 2 appear brighter as a whole.

In addition, by devising the shape of the reflecting surface 27a of this light beam reflecting device 27, it is possible to guide the light beam to the step 1 side or illuminate the lower surface of the handrail 2, which can be used for dynamic or static lighting. It has an effect that you can enjoy.

Furthermore, the light reflecting device 27 is fixed directly under the handrail 2, so that no maintenance work is required at all, and the maintenance work associated with the burnout of the lamp 24 can be done from the outside of the passenger conveyor below the handrail 12. The structure allows maintenance to be carried out without sacrificing safety or economy during maintenance. In addition, it is possible to solve all the problems of the handrail 3, such as the obstruction of the incident angle θ2 of external light, the accumulation of abrasion powder on the handrail 2, and the obstruction of passenger safety.
It is possible to provide a highly designed balustrade structure that maintains the advantages of the balustrade 12 and adds lighting effects.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention described below, it is possible to provide a railing for a passenger conveyor that is highly safe, stylish, and economical.

In addition, in the description of the main text, an example was described in which the upper surface of the illumination device 26 was made to protrude by an amount A and there was only one reflective surface 27a, but the invention is not necessarily limited to this.
