Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for monitoring the presence of steps or pallets of an escalator or moving walk.
- Escalators and escalators must be equipped in accordance with applicable domestic and foreign safety regulations in such a way that they are automatically shut down as soon as problems arise in the area of critical points.
- a control device for passenger conveyor systems has become known from US Pat. No. 5,526,256.
- a first and a second microcomputer are provided, the first microcomputer being operatively connected via switches to the safety elements responsible for starting the passenger conveyor system. The results are used to commission the passenger conveyor system.
- the second microcomputer monitors the behavior of the safety devices based on their input signals. If one of the microcomputers fails, the passenger conveyor system is not stopped, rather the second microcomputer takes over the function of the first, which can result in considerable risks in the continued operation of the passenger conveyor system, since the error is not remedied but merely relocated.
- a major problem area is the step or pallet belt. If ever break a step or pallet or fall in the return run, so it can happen / that persons are in the visible range of the escalator on it may be harmed if the escalator or moving walkway is not stopped immediately.
- the aim of the subject matter of the invention is to develop a device for monitoring the presence of steps or pallets of an escalator or • escalator in such a way that the absence of steps or pallets is immediately registered, so that the drive is already shut down without the missing or defective part enters the visible area of the escalator or escalator. For this purpose, a new type of evaluation is to be created on the basis of safety-related and standard-compliant requirements.
- a device for monitoring the presence of steps or pallets of an escalator or escalator formed by at least one non-contact initiator, which is operatively connected to an evaluation and control electronics, which are found when missing steps or pallets within the Step or pallet belt stops the drive of the escalator or moving walk.
- This goal is also achieved by a method for monitoring the presence of steps or pallets of an escalator or a moving walk, in that the presence of predeterminable, characteristic and always presentable at a predeterminable point of the step or pallet belt via at least one initiator that is operatively connected to an evaluation and control electronics recurring features are scanned without contact, the recorded parameters are sent in electronic form to the evaluation and control electronics and processed there, in the event of the absence of at least one of the characteristic features via the evaluation and control electronics, the drive of the escalator or moving walk is stopped.
- the subject of the invention now enables the contactless detection of faulty levels or pallets on the basis of characteristic and constantly recurring features. These are available at every level or pallet.
- the step or pallet axis of each step or pallet can be used, for example, as a characteristic feature, which usually cooperates with a roller that rolls on a guide and is therefore always arranged at the same height.
- the initiator (s) are preferably positioned in the area of the scaffold by means of an associated holder and are aligned with the characteristic feature, for example the bolt of the step or pallet rollers provided outside the drive train.
- the initiator (s) are preferably provided in the return run near the deflection area of the step or pallet belt, so that at Detection of a missing step or pallet via the evaluation and control electronics, the drive of the escalator or the moving walkway can be stopped immediately.
- a plurality of processors which control the signals of the initiator (s) and work independently of one another, are provided, which preferably monitor one another.
- the processors are in active connection with safety contacts for the immediate shutdown of the escalator or escalator drive, the processors exchanging status messages of the respective operating state of the initiator (s) on the one hand and of the own state on the other hand within predefinable time intervals.
- the speed profiles to be mastered with the escalator or the moving walkway are stored in the evaluation and control electronics, so that the throughput times which arise due to changing speeds on the initiator (s) are easily recognized by the evaluation and control electronics can be assigned to the respective operating status.
- So-called self-learning programs such as adaptive speed detection, auto-tuning and teach-in processes can be used to set different speeds.
- the step or pallet belt must be operated manually using special switching elements be possible (revision driving mode) so that the safety device can be switched off for this purpose.
- FIG. 1 schematic diagram of an escalator with indicated
- FIG. 2 partial representation of the safety device
- FIG. 1 partial representation of the evaluation and control electronics in connection with the initiators.
- Figure 1 shows an escalator 1 with two deflection areas 2, 3 for the steps 4 of the step belt 5.
- holders 6, 6 ' are provided in the vicinity of the deflection areas 2, 3 and each hold an initiator 7, 7', which is only indicated.
- FIG. 2 shows a partial view of the holder 6.
- a stage 4 can be seen, the drive element 8 articulated on the stage 4 and a step roller 9.
- the holder 6 is fastened in the area of the frame 12.
- the step roller 9 rolling on a guideway 13 always has the same distance for each step 4, so that it is easily possible to align the initiator 7 on the bolt of the step roller 9, which is not further visible here, so that the same is a characteristic, recurring feature of each Level 4 represents.
- Figure 3 shows a schematic diagram of the evaluation and control electronics 1 1, which is operatively connected to two initiators 7, 7 ', which are positioned at a predetermined distance from each other. Also recognizable is a pallet belt 5 'including pallets 4' of an only indicated moving walk. Each pallet 4 'is equipped with a pallet roller 9' which is connected to the respective pallet 4 'via a bolt 15.
- the initiators 7, 7 ' are also provided in the vicinity of the deflection region of the pallets 4', which is not shown in any more detail, and are aligned with the height of the pallet bolt 15, which represents a characteristic and recurring feature.
- the evaluation and control electronics 1 1 contains two microprocessors 16, 17, which are connected to the initiators 7, 7 '.
- the microprocessors 16, 17 are connected to one another via data lines 18, so that mutual monitoring is ensured.
- the microprocessors 16, 17 not only check themselves for locally occurring faults, but also check whether the initiator pulses supplied to the other microprocessor 16, 17 are within the tolerance range.
- Reference numbers 19, 20 on the one hand denote the voltage supply of the so-called safety chain and, on the other hand, the voltage supply of the evaluation and control electronics 1 1 itself.
- the evaluation electronics 11 In the normal case (escalator is running) there is a sequence of pulses (signals), the evaluation electronics 11 also monitoring damage to the initiators 7, 7 'or the lines 29, 30 themselves.
- the signals range between 0 and 1. If one of the signals constantly becomes 0 or 1, it can be assumed that there is damage in the area of an initiator 7, 7 'or a line 29, 30. As a result, the drive is stopped.
