 図1は、乗客コンベアを示す概略構成図である。図2A及び図2Bは、乗客コンベアの出入り口を示す平面図である。なお、図2A及び図2Bでは、欄干部を除去した状態を示している。
1. 1. Example 1-1. Configuration Example of Passenger Conveyor First, the configuration of the passenger conveyor according to the embodiment (hereinafter referred to as “this example”) will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 2A and 2B.
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram showing a passenger conveyor. 2A and 2B are plan views showing the entrance and exit of the passenger conveyor. In addition, FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B show a state in which the balustrade portion is removed.
 図1に示す乗客コンベア1は、建築構造物の上階床と下階床に設置される傾斜型の乗客コンベア、いわゆるエスカレーターである。図1に示すように、乗客コンベア1は、建築構造物に設置されたフレーム2と、上部乗降床3Aと、下部乗降床3Bと、デッキ部4と、複数の踏段5と、欄干部7と、を備えている。また、乗客コンベア1は、不図示の駆動機構と、下部スプロケット10と、上部スプロケット11と、備えている。 The passenger conveyor 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a so-called escalator, which is an inclined passenger conveyor installed on the upper floor and the lower floor of a building structure. As shown in FIG. 1, the passenger conveyor 1 includes a frame 2 installed in a building structure, an upper boarding / alighting floor 3A, a lower boarding / alighting floor 3B, a deck portion 4, a plurality of steps 5, and a balustrade portion 7. , Is equipped. Further, the passenger conveyor 1 includes a drive mechanism (not shown), a lower sprocket 10, and an upper sprocket 11.
 フレーム2は、上階床と下階床にまたがって設置されている。フレーム2は、傾斜区間と、上水平区間と、下水平区間から構成されている。以下、フレーム2における下階床から上階床に向かって延在する方向をフレーム2の長手方向とする。フレーム2の長手方向と直交し、かつ鉛直方向とも直交する方向をフレーム2の幅方向とする。 Frame 2 is installed across the upper floor and the lower floor. The frame 2 is composed of an inclined section, an upper horizontal section, and a lower horizontal section. Hereinafter, the direction extending from the lower floor to the upper floor in the frame 2 is referred to as the longitudinal direction of the frame 2. The width direction of the frame 2 is defined as a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the frame 2 and also orthogonal to the vertical direction.
 フレーム2の長手方向の上階床側に形成された上水平区間は、上階床と平行に形成されている。そして、フレーム2の上水平区間には、上部乗降床3Aが設置されている。上部乗降床3Aは、上階床と平行をなし、上階床に載置されている。 The upper horizontal section formed on the upper floor side in the longitudinal direction of the frame 2 is formed parallel to the upper floor. An upper floor 3A is installed in the upper horizontal section of the frame 2. The upper floor 3A is parallel to the upper floor and is placed on the upper floor.
 フレーム2の長手方向の下階床側に形成された下水平区間は、下階床と平行に形成されている。そして、フレーム2の下水平区間には、下部乗降床3Bが設置されている。下部乗降床3Bは、下階床と平行をなし、下階床に設置されている。 The lower horizontal section formed on the lower floor side in the longitudinal direction of the frame 2 is formed parallel to the lower floor. A lower floor 3B is installed in the lower horizontal section of the frame 2. The lower floor 3B is parallel to the lower floor and is installed on the lower floor.
 また、フレーム2における上部乗降床3Aの下方には、不図示の駆動機構と、上部スプロケット11が配置され、フレーム2における下部乗降床3Bの下方には、下部スプロケット10が配置される。上部スプロケット11と駆動機構の駆動軸には、伝達チェーンが巻き掛けられている。駆動機構が駆動すると、上部スプロケット11は、伝達チェーンを介して回転駆動する。 Further, a drive mechanism (not shown) and an upper sprocket 11 are arranged below the upper floor 3A in the frame 2, and a lower sprocket 10 is arranged below the lower floor 3B in the frame 2. A transmission chain is wound around the upper sprocket 11 and the drive shaft of the drive mechanism. When the drive mechanism is driven, the upper sprocket 11 is rotationally driven via the transmission chain.
 上部スプロケット11と下部スプロケット10には、踏段チェーンが巻き掛けられている。踏段チェーンは、その長手方向の両端部が連結された無端状に形成されている。上部スプロケット11が回転することで、下部スプロケット10及び踏段チェーンが回転する。そして、踏段チェーンは、上部スプロケット11と下部スプロケット10の間を循環移動する。 A step chain is wound around the upper sprocket 11 and the lower sprocket 10. The step chain is formed in an endless shape in which both ends in the longitudinal direction are connected. The rotation of the upper sprocket 11 causes the lower sprocket 10 and the step chain to rotate. Then, the step chain circulates between the upper sprocket 11 and the lower sprocket 10.
 踏段チェーンには、複数の踏段5が無端状に連結されている。複数の踏段5は、フレーム2に設けられた不図示のガイドレールに移動可能に支持されている。として、複数の踏段5は、ガイドレールに沿って上部スプロケット11と下部スプロケット10の間を循環移動する。 A plurality of steps 5 are connected to the step chain in an endless manner. The plurality of steps 5 are movably supported by guide rails (not shown) provided on the frame 2. As a result, the plurality of steps 5 circulate between the upper sprocket 11 and the lower sprocket 10 along the guide rail.
 図2Aに示すように、複数の踏段5の幅方向の両端部には、デッキ部4が設置されている。図1に示すように、デッキ部4は、フレーム2の長手方向に沿って配置される。デッキ部4は、フレーム2の幅方向の両端部の上方おける傾斜区間の全てと、上水平区間及び下水平区間の一部を覆う。 As shown in FIG. 2A, deck portions 4 are installed at both ends of the plurality of steps 5 in the width direction. As shown in FIG. 1, the deck portion 4 is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the frame 2. The deck portion 4 covers all of the inclined sections above both ends of the frame 2 in the width direction, and a part of the upper horizontal section and the lower horizontal section.
 欄干部7は、デッキ部4に支持される欄干パネル6と、移動手摺8とを有している。移動手摺8は、欄干パネル6の周縁部に移動可能に支持されている。また、移動手摺8は、複数の踏段5の循環動作に同期して、循環移動する。そして、移動手摺8は、デッキ部4に設けられたインレット部20に出入りする。 The balustrade portion 7 has a balustrade panel 6 supported by the deck portion 4 and a moving handrail 8. The moving handrail 8 is movably supported on the peripheral edge of the balustrade panel 6. Further, the moving handrail 8 circulates in synchronization with the circulation operation of the plurality of steps 5. Then, the moving handrail 8 goes in and out of the inlet portion 20 provided in the deck portion 4.
1-2.インレット部の構成
 次に、インレット部20の詳細な構成について図2A~図7を参照して説明する。
 図3は、インレット部20を示す斜視図、図4は、インレット部20を示す正面図、図5は、インレット部を上側から見た平面図である。
1-2. Configuration of Inlet Division Next, a detailed configuration of the inlet portion 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A to 7.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the inlet portion 20, FIG. 4 is a front view showing the inlet portion 20, and FIG. 5 is a plan view of the inlet portion as viewed from above.
 図2Aに示すように、インレット部20は、デッキ部4における長手方向の両端部、いわゆるデッキ部4の先端部に設けられている。図3~図7に示すように、インレット部20は、インレットカバー21と、安全機構50と、支持部材60と、を有している。 As shown in FIG. 2A, the inlet portion 20 is provided at both ends of the deck portion 4 in the longitudinal direction, that is, at the tip end portion of the so-called deck portion 4. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 7, the inlet portion 20 includes an inlet cover 21, a safety mechanism 50, and a support member 60.
 図2Aに示すように、インレットカバー21における出入り口側である先端部には、踏段5及び移動手摺8(図5参照)の移動方向に対して傾斜した正面部21cが設けられている。なお、図2Aに示すインレットカバー21の正面部21cにおける幅方向で対向する他方のインレットカバー21側である内側の一端部は、外側の他端部よりもデッキ部4に接近している。これにより、乗客コンベア1の出入り口は、乗客を踏段5に向かい入れるような形に形成される。その結果、乗客が乗客コンベア1に入り易くすることができる。 As shown in FIG. 2A, the tip portion of the inlet cover 21 on the entrance / exit side is provided with a front portion 21c inclined with respect to the moving direction of the step 5 and the moving handrail 8 (see FIG. 5). The inner end portion of the front portion 21c of the inlet cover 21 shown in FIG. 2A on the side of the other inlet cover 21 facing in the width direction is closer to the deck portion 4 than the outer other end portion. As a result, the entrance / exit of the passenger conveyor 1 is formed so as to allow passengers to face the step 5. As a result, passengers can easily enter the passenger conveyor 1.
 なお、インレットカバー21の傾斜の向きは、図2Aに示す例に限定されるものではなく、図2Bに示すインレットカバー21Bのように、正面部21cにおける外側の他端部が内側の一端部よりもデッキ部4に接近するように傾斜させてもよい。 The direction of inclination of the inlet cover 21 is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 2A, and as in the inlet cover 21B shown in FIG. 2B, the outer other end of the front portion 21c is from the inner one end. May be tilted so as to approach the deck portion 4.
 さらに、乗客コンベア1の幅方向の両側に配置された2つのインレットカバーの正面部が、略平行となるように同じ向きに傾斜させてもよい。 Further, the front portions of the two inlet covers arranged on both sides in the width direction of the passenger conveyor 1 may be inclined in the same direction so as to be substantially parallel to each other.
 図3及び図4に示すように、インレットカバー21の正面部21cには、移動手摺8が出入りする挿入凹部22が形成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the front portion 21c of the inlet cover 21 is formed with an insertion recess 22 into which the moving handrail 8 enters and exits.
 図6は、インレットカバー21を水平方向で切断した断面図である。
 図6に示すように、挿入凹部22は、略筒状に形成されている。挿入凹部22は、正面部21c側の正面側開口端部22cと、正面側開口端部22cとは反対側の内側開口端部22dが開口している。正面側開口端部22cは、正面部21cと同様に、踏段5及び移動手摺8の移動方向に対して傾斜している。
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the inlet cover 21 cut in the horizontal direction.
As shown in FIG. 6, the insertion recess 22 is formed in a substantially tubular shape. The insertion recess 22 has an opening end 22c on the front side on the front side 21c side and an inner opening end 22d on the opposite side of the opening end 22c on the front side. The front side opening end portion 22c is inclined with respect to the moving direction of the step 5 and the moving handrail 8 as in the front portion 21c.
 また、挿入凹部22は、第1側壁部22aと、第1側壁部22aと対向する第2側壁部22bとを有している。第1側壁部22a及び第2側壁部22bは、正面側開口端部22cから踏段5(図1及び図2参照)の移動方向と略平行に延在している。また、正面部21cの傾斜に対応させて、第1側壁部22aにおける正面側開口端部22cから内側開口端部22dまでの長さは、第2側壁部22bにおける正面側開口端部22cから内側開口端部22dまでの長さよりも長く設定されている。 Further, the insertion recess 22 has a first side wall portion 22a and a second side wall portion 22b facing the first side wall portion 22a. The first side wall portion 22a and the second side wall portion 22b extend substantially parallel to the moving direction of the step 5 (see FIGS. 1 and 2) from the front side opening end portion 22c. Further, in correspondence with the inclination of the front side wall portion 21c, the length from the front side opening end portion 22c to the inside opening end portion 22d in the first side wall portion 22a is from the front side opening end portion 22c in the second side wall portion 22b to the inside. It is set longer than the length up to the opening end 22d.
 図7は、インレット部20を水平方向で切断した断面図である。
 図7に示すように、安全機構50は、検出体30と、検出体30の変位を検出する検出スイッチ40と、を有している。
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the inlet portion 20 cut in the horizontal direction.
As shown in FIG. 7, the safety mechanism 50 includes a detection body 30 and a detection switch 40 that detects the displacement of the detection body 30.
 検出体30は、本体部31と、突出部32とを有している。検出体30は、筒状に形成されている。また、検出体30の側面部には、検出体30の軸方向に沿って本体部31から突出部32の後述する先端部36にかけて連続する切り込み33が形成されている。そのため、検出体30は、鉛直方向で切断した断面形状が略C字状に形成されている。また、切り込み33から移動手摺8を検出体30の筒孔に挿入することができる。これにより、検出体30は、移動手摺8の周囲の一部を囲む。 The detector 30 has a main body 31 and a protruding portion 32. The detector 30 is formed in a tubular shape. Further, a continuous notch 33 is formed in the side surface portion of the detection body 30 from the main body portion 31 to the tip portion 36 of the protrusion 32, which will be described later, along the axial direction of the detection body 30. Therefore, the detection body 30 has a substantially C-shaped cross-sectional shape cut in the vertical direction. Further, the moving handrail 8 can be inserted into the tubular hole of the detection body 30 from the notch 33. As a result, the detector 30 surrounds a part of the periphery of the moving handrail 8.
 さらに、検出体30は、インレット部20に配置され、不図示のブラケットにより移動手摺8の移動方向に沿って移動可能に支持される。図4及び図7に示すように、本体部31は、インレットカバー21内において挿入凹部22の内側開口端部22d側の開口を臨む位置に配置される。そして、本体部31は、不図示のブラケットにより支持される。 Further, the detector 30 is arranged in the inlet portion 20 and is movably supported along the moving direction of the moving handrail 8 by a bracket (not shown). As shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, the main body 31 is arranged in the inlet cover 21 at a position facing the opening on the inner opening end 22d side of the insertion recess 22. The main body 31 is supported by a bracket (not shown).
 突出部32は、本体部31から移動手摺8の移動方向に沿って突出している。そして、突出部32は、インレットカバー21に設けた挿入凹部22内に挿入される。突出部32における本体部31とは反対側の先端部36は、正面部21c及び挿入凹部22の正面側開口端部22cと同様に、踏段5及び移動手摺8の移動方向に対して傾斜している。 The protruding portion 32 protrudes from the main body portion 31 along the moving direction of the moving handrail 8. Then, the protruding portion 32 is inserted into the insertion recess 22 provided in the inlet cover 21. The tip 36 of the protruding portion 32 on the opposite side of the main body 31 is inclined with respect to the moving direction of the step 5 and the moving handrail 8 in the same manner as the front opening end 22c of the front portion 21c and the insertion recess 22. There is.
 また、突出部32は、挿入凹部22の第1側壁部22aと対向する第1側面部34と、第2側壁部22bと対向する第2側面部35とを有している。第1側面部34における本体部31から先端部36までの長さは、第2側面部35における本体部31から先端部36までの長さよりも長く設定されている。 Further, the protruding portion 32 has a first side surface portion 34 facing the first side wall portion 22a of the insertion recess 22, and a second side surface portion 35 facing the second side wall portion 22b. The length of the first side surface portion 34 from the main body portion 31 to the tip portion 36 is set longer than the length of the second side surface portion 35 from the main body portion 31 to the tip portion 36.
 そして、挿入凹部22内に手や異物が侵入すると、突出部32が手や異物により押圧される。そして、検出体30は、インレットカバー21の内側に向けて変位する。なお、検出体30としては、挿入凹部22内に侵入した異物を傷つけない程度の弾力と、外力を後述する検出スイッチ40に確実に伝達可能な剛性を有する部材により形成される。検出体30としては、例えば、ゴム等により形成される。 Then, when a hand or a foreign substance enters the insertion recess 22, the protruding portion 32 is pressed by the hand or the foreign substance. Then, the detector 30 is displaced toward the inside of the inlet cover 21. The detection body 30 is formed of a member having elasticity enough not to damage foreign matter that has entered the insertion recess 22 and rigidity capable of reliably transmitting an external force to the detection switch 40 described later. The detector 30 is formed of, for example, rubber or the like.
 検出スイッチ40は、不図示のブラケットに支持されて、インレットカバー21及びデッキ部4の内部に配置されている。検出スイッチ40は、検出体30が変位した際に、検出体30を支持するブラケット又は検出体30の本体部31によって押圧される。これにより、検出スイッチ40は、検出体30の変位を検出し、インレット部20への異物の侵入を検出する。また、検出スイッチ40は、不図示の制御部に検出信号を出力する。そして、制御部は、検出スイッチ40からの検出信号に基づいて、異常を判断し、乗客コンベア1の動作を停止したり、異常信号を管理センター等に報知したりする。 The detection switch 40 is supported by a bracket (not shown) and is arranged inside the inlet cover 21 and the deck portion 4. When the detection body 30 is displaced, the detection switch 40 is pressed by a bracket that supports the detection body 30 or a main body 31 of the detection body 30. As a result, the detection switch 40 detects the displacement of the detection body 30 and detects the intrusion of foreign matter into the inlet portion 20. Further, the detection switch 40 outputs a detection signal to a control unit (not shown). Then, the control unit determines an abnormality based on the detection signal from the detection switch 40, stops the operation of the passenger conveyor 1, or notifies the management center or the like of the abnormality signal.
 また、図4及び図7に示すように、挿入凹部22の第1側壁部22aと突出部32の第1側面部34との間には、隙間が発生している。また、第1側面部34は、第2側面部35よりも長く形成されているため、外力により撓み易い。そのため、図7に示すように、突出部32の先端部36に対して踏段5及び移動手摺8の移動方向と直交する方向から外力F1が加わると、突出部32は、図7に示す二点鎖線G1のように第1側壁部22a側に捻れるおそれがある。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, a gap is generated between the first side wall portion 22a of the insertion recess 22 and the first side surface portion 34 of the protrusion 32. Further, since the first side surface portion 34 is formed longer than the second side surface portion 35, it is easily bent by an external force. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, when an external force F1 is applied to the tip 36 of the protruding portion 32 from a direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the step 5 and the moving handrail 8, the protruding portion 32 has two points shown in FIG. Like the chain wire G1, there is a risk of twisting toward the first side wall portion 22a.
 さらに、第1側面部34と第1側壁部22aとの隙間における正面側開口端22cから内側開口端22dまでの長さが長くなる。その結果、第1側面部34と第1側壁部22aとの隙間に異物が挟まれた場合、挿入凹部22の内部に引き込まれる距離が長くなり、異物が抜けにくくなるおそれがある。 Further, the length from the front side opening end 22c to the inner opening end 22d in the gap between the first side surface portion 34 and the first side wall portion 22a becomes longer. As a result, when a foreign matter is caught in the gap between the first side surface portion 34 and the first side wall portion 22a, the distance drawn into the insertion recess 22 becomes long, and the foreign matter may not easily come out.
 これに対して、本例のインレット部20は、支持部材60を有している。支持部材60は、挿入凹部22における第1側壁部22aに取り付けられている。そして、支持部材60は、第1側壁部22aと第1側面部34との間に介在される。すなわち、支持部材60は、挿入凹部22及び突出部32における踏段5及び移動手摺8の移動方向の長さが最も長い箇所に配置される。 On the other hand, the inlet portion 20 of this example has a support member 60. The support member 60 is attached to the first side wall portion 22a in the insertion recess 22. The support member 60 is interposed between the first side wall portion 22a and the first side surface portion 34. That is, the support member 60 is arranged at a position where the length of the step 5 and the moving handrail 8 in the moving direction is the longest in the insertion recess 22 and the protruding portion 32.
 また、支持部材60は、挿入凹部22内において踏段5及び移動手摺8の移動方向に沿って延在している。これにより、第1側壁部22aと第1側面部34との間に生じた隙間を、支持部材60により埋めることができる。そして、支持部材60は、突出部32における第1側面部34を支持する。 Further, the support member 60 extends in the insertion recess 22 along the moving direction of the step 5 and the moving handrail 8. As a result, the gap formed between the first side wall portion 22a and the first side surface portion 34 can be filled with the support member 60. Then, the support member 60 supports the first side surface portion 34 of the protruding portion 32.
 突出部32が支持部材60によって支持されることで、突出部32に踏段5及び移動手摺8の移動方向と直交する方向から外力F1が加わった際に、突出部32が第1側壁部22a側に捻れることを、防ぐことができる。これにより、外力F1は、検出体30の先端部36の傾斜によって、踏段5及び移動手摺8の移動方向と平行な方向に分散される。そして、検出体30は、インレットカバー21の内側に向けて変位し、本体部31又は検出体30を支持するブラケットによって検出スイッチ40を押圧することができる。これにより、乗客コンベア1の安全性を高めることができる。 Since the protruding portion 32 is supported by the support member 60, when an external force F1 is applied to the protruding portion 32 from a direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the step 5 and the moving handrail 8, the protruding portion 32 is on the first side wall portion 22a side. It can be prevented from twisting. As a result, the external force F1 is dispersed in the direction parallel to the moving direction of the step 5 and the moving handrail 8 due to the inclination of the tip portion 36 of the detection body 30. Then, the detection body 30 is displaced toward the inside of the inlet cover 21, and the detection switch 40 can be pressed by the main body 31 or the bracket supporting the detection body 30. Thereby, the safety of the passenger conveyor 1 can be enhanced.
 さらに、支持部材60により、第1側面部34と第1側壁部22aとの間に異物が侵入することを防止することができる。その結果、検出体30と挿入凹部22との隙間に異物が引き込まれることを抑制することができ、乗客コンベア1の安全性を高めることが可能となる。 Further, the support member 60 can prevent foreign matter from entering between the first side surface portion 34 and the first side wall portion 22a. As a result, it is possible to prevent foreign matter from being drawn into the gap between the detection body 30 and the insertion recess 22, and it is possible to improve the safety of the passenger conveyor 1.
 支持部材60としては、検出体30における踏段5及び移動手摺8の移動方向への変位への影響を抑制するために、摩擦係数の低い部材を用いることが好ましい。支持部材60としては、例えば、樹脂や、表面に摩擦低減処理が施された金属等の材料が適用される。 As the support member 60, it is preferable to use a member having a low friction coefficient in order to suppress the influence of the step 5 and the moving handrail 8 on the displacement of the detection body 30 in the moving direction. As the support member 60, for example, a material such as resin or a metal whose surface has been subjected to friction reduction treatment is applied.
 なお、第2側壁部22bと第2側面部35との間にも隙間が発生しているが、突出部32は、外力F1によって第2側壁部22b側に捻れる可能性が低い。また、第2側壁部22b及び第2側面部35における挿入凹部22の正面側開口端部22cから内側開口端部22dまでの長さが短く、異物等が第2側壁部22b及び第2側面部35との間の隙間に入り込み難い。そのため、第2側壁部22b及び第2側面部35との間には、支持部材60を設けなくても検出体30の捻れや、検出体30の動作に影響を与えることがない。 Although a gap is also generated between the second side wall portion 22b and the second side surface portion 35, the protruding portion 32 is unlikely to be twisted toward the second side wall portion 22b by the external force F1. Further, the length from the front side opening end 22c to the inner opening end 22d of the insertion recess 22 in the second side wall portion 22b and the second side surface portion 35 is short, and foreign matter or the like is contained in the second side wall portion 22b and the second side surface portion. It is difficult to get into the gap between 35 and 35. Therefore, even if the support member 60 is not provided between the second side wall portion 22b and the second side surface portion 35, the twist of the detection body 30 and the operation of the detection body 30 are not affected.
 また、突出部32に対して鉛直方向の上方又は下方から外力が加わると、突出部32は、移動手摺8に接触する。そして、検出体30は、移動手摺8と共に、インレットカバー21の内側に向けて変位するため、確実に検出スイッチ40を押圧することができる。したがって、突出部32と挿入凹部22における鉛直方向の上部と下部との隙間に、支持部材60を設けなくてもよい。 Further, when an external force is applied to the protruding portion 32 from above or below in the vertical direction, the protruding portion 32 comes into contact with the moving handrail 8. Then, since the detection body 30 is displaced toward the inside of the inlet cover 21 together with the moving handrail 8, the detection switch 40 can be reliably pressed. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide the support member 60 in the gap between the upper portion and the lower portion in the vertical direction between the protrusion 32 and the insertion recess 22.
 なお、第2側壁部22bと第2側面部35との隙間や、突出部32と挿入凹部22における鉛直方向の下部と上部との隙間にも、支持部材60を設けてもよい。 The support member 60 may also be provided in the gap between the second side wall portion 22b and the second side surface portion 35, or in the gap between the lower portion and the upper portion in the vertical direction of the protruding portion 32 and the insertion recess 22.
 なお、上述しかつ図面に示した実施の形態に限定されるものではなく、請求の範囲に記載した発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲内で種々の変形実施が可能である。 It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above and shown in the drawings, and various modifications can be carried out within a range that does not deviate from the gist of the invention described in the claims.
 上述した実施の形態例では、挿入凹部22の第1側壁部22aに支持部材60を取り付けた例を説明したが、これに限定されるものではなく、突出部32における第1側面部34に支持部材60を取り付けてもよい。 In the above-described embodiment, the support member 60 is attached to the first side wall portion 22a of the insertion recess 22, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the support member 60 is supported by the first side surface portion 34 of the protrusion 32. The member 60 may be attached.
 上述した実施の形態例では、突出部32における第1側面部34と挿入凹部22の第1側壁部22aとの間に隙間を設け、この隙間を埋める支持部材60を配置した例を説明したが、これに限定されるものではない。 In the above-described embodiment, a gap is provided between the first side surface portion 34 of the protrusion 32 and the first side wall portion 22a of the insertion recess 22, and a support member 60 for filling the gap is provided. , Not limited to this.
 例えば、第1側面部34と第1側壁部22aを接触するように、又は異物が入り込まない程度の微少な隙間を空けるようにして、第1側面部34を配置してもよい。また、突出部32における第1側面部34側の厚みを厚く設計し、第1側面部34が第1側壁部22aと接触する、又は異物が入り込まない程度の微少な隙間が空くようにしてもよい。これにより、突出部32の第1側面部34は、挿入凹部22の第1側壁部22aによって支持される。 For example, the first side surface portion 34 may be arranged so that the first side surface portion 34 and the first side wall portion 22a are in contact with each other, or a small gap is provided so that foreign matter does not enter. Further, even if the thickness of the protruding portion 32 on the first side surface portion 34 side is designed to be thick so that the first side surface portion 34 comes into contact with the first side wall portion 22a or a small gap is provided so that foreign matter does not enter. Good. As a result, the first side surface portion 34 of the protrusion 32 is supported by the first side wall portion 22a of the insertion recess 22.
 このような構成によっても、検出体30の捻れや、第1側面部34と第1側壁部22aの間に異物が侵入することを防ぐことができる。さらに、突出部32を支持する部材を設ける必要がなくなるため、部品点数の削減を図ることができる。 Even with such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the detection body 30 from being twisted and foreign matter from entering between the first side surface portion 34 and the first side wall portion 22a. Further, since it is not necessary to provide a member for supporting the protruding portion 32, the number of parts can be reduced.
 なお、支持部材60を用いずに第1側面部34と第1側壁部22aとの隙間を解消する場合、寸法公差や、建築構造物に乗客コンベア1を設置する度合いによって、検出体30や挿入凹部22が移動手摺8に干渉するおそれがある。そのため、検出体30やインレットカバー21に求められる寸法精度が高くなるだけでなく、検出体30を設置する作業が繁雑になるおそれがある。 When the gap between the first side surface portion 34 and the first side wall portion 22a is eliminated without using the support member 60, the detector 30 or the insertion body 30 is inserted depending on the dimensional tolerance and the degree to which the passenger conveyor 1 is installed in the building structure. The recess 22 may interfere with the moving handrail 8. Therefore, not only the dimensional accuracy required for the detector 30 and the inlet cover 21 is improved, but also the work of installing the detector 30 may become complicated.
 したがって、上述した実施の形態例のように、第1側面部34と第1側壁部22aとの間に隙間を設けて、この隙間に支持部材60を配置することで、調整代を確保することができ、インレットカバー21や検出体30の設置作業を容易に行うことができる。さらに、インレットカバー21や検出体30に求められる寸法精度を低く抑えることができる。 Therefore, as in the above-described embodiment, a gap is provided between the first side surface portion 34 and the first side wall portion 22a, and the support member 60 is arranged in this gap to secure the adjustment allowance. Therefore, the installation work of the inlet cover 21 and the detector 30 can be easily performed. Further, the dimensional accuracy required for the inlet cover 21 and the detector 30 can be suppressed low.
 上述した実施の形態例では、傾斜型の乗客コンベアとして、踏段間に段差が生じるエスカレーターを例に挙げて説明したが、本発明の乗客コンベアとしては、踏段間に段差が生じない複数の踏段を有する電動道路、いわゆる動く歩道にも適用できるものである。 In the above-described embodiment, the escalator having a step between the steps has been described as an example of the inclined passenger conveyor, but the passenger conveyor of the present invention has a plurality of steps having no step between the steps. It can also be applied to an electric road that has a so-called moving walkway.
 また、傾斜区間の少なくとも一部に、上水平区間及び下水平区間に対して平行な箇所を設けたフレームを有する乗客コンベアにも適用できるものである。さらに、傾斜区間の延設方向が湾曲して変化することで、上水平区間と下水平区間の延設方向が異なるフレームを有する乗客コンベアに対しても同様に適用できるものである。 It can also be applied to a passenger conveyor having a frame in which at least a part of the inclined section is provided with a portion parallel to the upper horizontal section and the lower horizontal section. Further, since the extension direction of the inclined section is curved and changed, the same can be applied to a passenger conveyor having a frame in which the extension directions of the upper horizontal section and the lower horizontal section are different.
 なお、本明細書において、「平行」及び「直交」等の単語を使用したが、これらは厳密な「平行」及び「直交」のみを意味するものではなく、「平行」及び「直交」を含み、さらにその機能を発揮し得る範囲にある、「略平行」や「略直交」の状態であってもよい。 Although words such as "parallel" and "orthogonal" have been used in the present specification, these do not mean only strict "parallel" and "orthogonal", but include "parallel" and "orthogonal". Further, it may be in a "substantially parallel" or "substantially orthogonal" state within a range in which the function can be exhibited.
