Abstract

L'invention concerne un système d'entraînement (1) pour un trottoir roulant (3), ledit système présentant un mécanisme d'entraînement (5), un mécanisme de guidage (7) ainsi qu'un premier et un second moyen de traction sans fin (9, 11). Le mécanisme d'entraînement (5) présente un système d'entraînement (17) et une première et une seconde roue d'entraînement (13, 15) qui sont accouplées l'une à l'autre, de sorte que les deux roues d'entraînement (13, 15) sont destinées à être entraînées respectivement dans un mouvement de rotation (21, 23) par le système d'entraînement (17), en tournant en sens inverse l'une par rapport à l'autre. La première roue d'entraînement (13) coopère avec le premier moyen de traction (9) et la seconde roue d'entraînement (15) coopère avec le second moyen de traction continu (11), afin que les deux moyens de traction sans fin (9, 11) effectuent des mouvements circulaires inverses de manière rotative sous l'effet du mouvement de rotation (21, 23) de chaque roue d'entraînement (13, 15). Les deux moyens de traction sans fin (9, 11) sont configurés et sont guidés dans le mouvement de rotation par le mécanisme de guidage (7), de sorte que par exemple, sous l'effet du mouvement de rotation (21) de la première roue d'entraînement (13), des zones du premier moyen de traction sans fin (9) déplacées dans une direction d'avancement (25) coopèrent avec une première face (31) de palettes (29) du trottoir roulant (3), en pouvant être sollicitées en traction et de sorte que par exemple, sous l'effet du mouvement de rotation (23) de la seconde roue d'entraînement (15), des zones du second moyen de traction sans fin (11) déplacées dans une direction d'avancement (25) coopèrent avec la seconde face (33) de palettes (29), en pouvant être sollicitées en traction.
