Description

Skirt panel for passenger conveyor {SKIRT PANEL OF A PASSENGER CONVEYOR}

The present invention relates to a skirt panel for a passenger conveyor, and more particularly, to a skirt panel formed to prevent a shoe of a passenger using the passenger conveyor from being caught between the edge of the footrest of the passenger conveyor and the skirt panel.

In general, passenger conveyors are installed in places where people are frequently accessed, such as subways and department stores, to automatically move many people between floors or floors within relatively short distances, for example, escalators and There is a moving walkway. The escalator is a stepped structure of the step, the moving walkway is a stepped structure of the belt.

1 and 2 illustrate an escalator as a passenger conveyor. The escalator has a structure in which power generated through the driver 1 is transmitted to the one sprocket 3 and the other sprocket 4 through the drive chain 2, and the drive chain 2 is moved by the movement of the drive chain 2. The handrail 8 supported by the partition plate 7 on the skirt panel 6 is driven by the power transmitted from one sprocket 3 while the footrest 5 connected to the foothold 5 is moved. Is moved in the same direction is configured to increase the safety of the passengers. At both ends of the skirt panel 6, an entrance side landing 9 and an exit side landing 10 are provided.

In such an escalator, as shown in FIG. 3, a predetermined gap G is inevitably generated between the footrest 5 and the skirt panels 6 on both sides thereof, and thus, the passengers in the gap G are placed. If objects such as clothes or shoes get caught, they have a fatal adverse effect on the safety of the passengers.

Particularly, since the skirt panel 6 is flat in the related art, when the shoes of the passengers are made of rubber, when the shoes of the passengers are brought into contact with the skirt panels 6, a high frictional force is generated and the shoes are the skirt panels 6. There is a problem that is strongly attracted to the pinch into the gap (G).

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object thereof is to provide a skirt panel for a passenger conveyor having a rounded uneven portion formed on a surface thereof.

2 is a perspective view illustrating a structure of a general escalator;

3 is a plan view of a portion A of FIG.

6 is a cross-sectional view of another example of a skirting panel for passenger conveyors according to the present invention, and

7 is a view illustrating another example of a skirt panel for a passenger conveyor according to the present invention.

In order to achieve the above object, the skirt panel for the passenger conveyor of the present invention, the power generated through the drive is transmitted to the one sprocket and the other sprocket through the drive chain, the footrest connected to the drive chain by the movement of the drive chain Is moved, and the hand rail supported by the partition plate on the skirt panel is moved in the same direction as the scaffold by the power transmitted from the one-side sprocket, and the passenger conveyor is provided with the entrance and exit platforms at both ends of the skirt panel. In the skirt panel, a rounded concave-convex portion is provided in the same direction as the moving direction of the scaffold.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described an embodiment of the present invention;

4 illustrates an escalator to which a skirt panel according to the present invention is applied. In the escalator illustrated in FIG. 4, the same reference numerals as those used in FIGS. 1 to 3 will be used for the same components as those of the prior art. In addition, the description of the same components as those of the prior art will be omitted.

The skirting panel 6 for passenger conveyors according to the present invention is provided with rounded uneven parts on the surface. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the uneven portion is formed on the surface of the skirt panel 6 in the same direction as the moving direction of the footrest 5.

5, an example of an uneven part is illustrated as sectional drawing. The concave and convex portions in FIG. 5 are a plurality of concave portions and convex portions 61a and 61b having a semicircular cross section, and these concave portions and convex portions 61a and 61b are moving directions of the footrest 5 on the surface of the skirt panel 6. It extends in the same direction as and is spaced apart at predetermined intervals in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the footrest (5).

In addition, another example of an uneven part is illustrated as sectional drawing in FIG. The concave and convex portions in FIG. 6 are a plurality of concave portions and convex portions 63a and 63b having a triangular cross section, and these concave portions and convex portions 63a and 63b are moving directions of the footrest 5 on the surface of the skirt panel 6. It extends in the same direction as and is spaced apart at predetermined intervals in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the footrest (5). In FIG. 6, the recessed vertex portion of the concave portion 63a and the projected vertex portion of the convex portion 63b are rounded.

In addition, another example of the uneven portion is illustrated in FIG. 7. The uneven part of FIG. 7 is a square uneven grating 65.

In the above embodiments, the rounded uneven portion is illustrated as being directly formed on the surface of the skirt panel. However, the present invention only needs to have the rounded uneven portion formed on the surface of the skirt panel. It will be appreciated that it is also within the scope of the present invention that a separate panel formed in the concave-convex portion is attached to the skirt panel surface.

These uneven parts serve to reduce friction between the skirt panel 6 and the shoe when the skirt panel 6 is in contact with the shoes of the passenger.

On the other hand, although the uneven portion is illustrated as being formed over the entire skirt panel 6, the uneven portion is the portion corresponding to the entrance side landing 9 in the entire skirt panel 6, the entire skirt panel 6 It may be formed in at least one of a portion corresponding to the exit side landing 10, or a portion between the entrance side landing 9 and the exit side landing 10 in the entire skirt panel (6).

In addition, although the shape of the uneven portion is illustrated as being semi-circular or triangular in the above embodiments, it will be appreciated that the shape of the uneven portion is not limited to such a semi-circular or triangular shape in the present invention. In other words, any shape as long as the concave-convex portion in the present invention falls within the scope of the present invention.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the surface of the uneven portion may be coated with an anti-corrosion and anti-slip coating. This coating layer prevents the skirt panel 6 from rusting and at the same time makes it slip well when the objects touch.

It will be appreciated that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit constituting the principal features thereof. Accordingly, the above examples and embodiments are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, and the invention is not to be limited to the foregoing detailed description. That is, it will be appreciated that structural changes, modifications, and attachments to all rounded uneven parts of the current skirt panel are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention.

As described above, according to the skirt panel for passenger conveyor of the present invention, since the rounded irregularities are formed on the surface of the skirt panel, the frictional force between the passenger's shoes is reduced to reduce the footrest 5 and the skirts on both sides thereof. There is an effect of preventing the passenger's shoes from being caught in the gap G between the panels 6.
