Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] 3. Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a guide device for a passenger conveyor such as an escalator or an electric road. The present invention relates to a device suitable for.

[Conventional technology]

The conventional passenger conveyor guide device was developed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-108.
An optical fiber display type additional device disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 686 is known. This system was a visual light display for passengers, and its presence was often overlooked, so it could not be considered a truly effective guidance function.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The above-mentioned conventional technology had a problem in that the guidance method relied only on visual perception, and therefore did not provide sufficient guidance in the past when people were distracted or their eyes were distracted by their surroundings. For this reason, even if information such as the direction of travel of the passenger conveyor, shopping information, and proper boarding and alighting etiquette are displayed using light, the effectiveness of the display is diminished.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a guidance device that guides passengers walking from the entrance to the steps using seven light expressions and audio effects to ensure the safety of the passengers.

[Means for solving problems]

The above objective was achieved by installing a guidance device on the railing panel at least near the entrance/exit of the single-passenger conveyor, which is a combination of a display that displays arrows, letters, patterns, etc., and an audio device that outputs audio information about the correct way to ride. be done.

[Effect]

The guidance device of the present invention is attached to a parapet panel near the first boarding/exit, and has visual elements such as arrows indicating the direction of movement of steps and moving handrails, letters and patterns that display sales floor guidance and store name marks, and also appeals to the senses of hearing. It serves as a guide device.

This improves the safety of passengers and the decorativeness of the parapet.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 to 3, the steps 1 and the movable handrail 2 arranged in an endless manner, the entrance 3, the comb 4, the balustrade 5, and the deck cover 6.41 that constitutes the balustrade 5
Although the overall structure of the J balustrade panel 7 etc. is the same as that of the conventional one, the present invention further includes a display body 8 on the inside of the balustrade panel 7 forming both walls of the entrance/exit 3, a lighting device 9 on the outside of the balustrade panel 7, and a lighting device 9 on the outside of the balustrade panel 7. ,
A sound body 10 is provided inside this illumination device 9, and this display body 8
, a lighting device 9 and a sound body 10 constitute the guide device 11. Here, the lighting device 9 is the balustrade panel 7
A support body 12 that is in close contact with the support body 12, a pillar 13 that supports this, a chair structure of the intrusion prevention fence 14 (a safety fence that prevents people from entering the deck cover 6), a lamp 15, a lamp cover 16,
It is composed of wiring lead wires 17, and is designed to provide illumination by being supplied with electricity from below the deck cover 6 through the pillars 13. On the other hand, the voice body 10 is the display body 8
is a speaker housed in the lighting device 9 on the back side of the handrail panel 7, and the sound emitted from it through the lead wire 17 passes through the hole 7a of the handrail panel 7 and the hole 8a of the display 8 to the passenger as indicated by the arrow Z. It can be conveyed as follows.

Further, in the center of the display 8, arrows for destination guidance, letters and patterns for store guidance are printed, and only this printed portion is provided with a display section 8A that is made translucent to provide visual guidance. .

In this way, the guide device 11 composed of one display body 8 and the audio body IO can provide an easy-to-use passenger conveyor by synergizing the decorative effect of light beams and the safety effect of warning announcements.
Since the lighting device 9 and the sound body 10 are efficiently combined, it is effective in terms of space efficiency and economy.

Note that the guide device 11 can be arranged in the longitudinal direction as indicated by the imaginary line M in FIG. 1, and the power feeding structure is not limited to the illustrated one.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, there is an effect of improving the safety and decorativeness of the passenger conveyor.
