Description

乘客运输装置 技术领域
本发明涉及乘客运输装置。
背景技术
在人类活动中,有许多病毒或细菌可以通过接触传播并引起各种疾病。因此,保持合理的社交距离可以减少疾病的传播。目前,当乘客乘坐乘客输送装置时,诸如自动扶梯或自动人行道,乘客自己通常下意识地一靠近乘客输送装置的入口就会直接进入乘客输送装置,而不会先主动地判断乘客输送装置上的载客情况,例如乘客输送装置上的乘客是否拥挤等,彼此之间是否保持了足够的安全距离。此外,即将乘坐乘客输送装置的乘客更不能判断出乘客输送装置的扶手带的某区域是否在刚刚已经被其他先前的乘客触摸过,从而避开该区域以避免接触由先前的乘客遗留下来的任何可能的病毒或细菌。
因此,需要这样的乘客输送装置,其能够提醒人们在乘坐乘客输送装置时彼此保持安全距离,而且可以相对可靠地确保在乘客输送装置的若干连续循环运行期间,人们不会相继触摸扶手带上的同一区域。

如图1-4所示,示出了乘客运输装置是自动扶梯。然而,需要说明的是,乘客运输装置也可以是自动人行道。乘客运输装置配置为沿预定路线运输乘客,例如,乘客运输装置可以倾斜向上、倾斜向下或水平向前运输乘客。乘客运输装置包括供乘客站立的板式输送机20和扶手带70,板式输送机20在预定路线上进行循环运行,扶手带70则与板式输送机20大致同步地进行循环运行。在图1-4所述的具体实施方式中,板式输送机20形成供乘客站立在其上的多个梯级。
如图1-3所示,根据本发明的实施例,乘客运输装置还包括光源,光源例如包括沿着上述预定路线延伸地设置在裙板处的LED灯带11;可选地,光源还可以包括沿着上述预定路线延伸地设置在扶手带附近的LED灯带12;还可选地,光源可以是能够朝向板式输送机发光的一个或多个投射器(未示出)。此外,乘客运输装置包括控制模块40,控制模块40配置为控制光源在板式输送机20的每个循环运行期间的发光模式。根据具体应用,可以规定,在有乘客乘坐该乘客运输装置时,光源如上启用。在没有乘客乘坐该乘客运输装置时,则可以不启用光源,或者允许光源只发出装饰性光。
在一个实施例中,光源被配置为能够发出第一种光,第一种光在板式输送机20的每个循环运行期间标识板式输送机20的间隔开的部段,并伴随板式输送机20而沿预定路线移动。由此,通过由光源发出的第一种光,可将板式输送机20沿着所述预定路线划分为彼此交替的第一类部段21和第二类部段22(如图2-3所示),其中第一类部段21由光源发出的第一种光标识。由该第一种光标识的板式输送机20的第一类部段21可以被视为是允许乘客站立的部段。根据一个具体的实施方式,可以通过控制模块40控制沿着预定路线设置在裙板处的LED灯带11和/或设置在扶手带附近的LED灯带12发出第一种光来标识板式输送机20的第一类部段21和与第一类部段21交替的第二类部段 22。根据另一种具体的实施方式,可以通过控制模块40控制所述一个或多个投射器向板式输送机投射20第一种光来标识板式输送机的第一类部段和与第一类部段交替的第二类部段。例如如图2和3所示,其中乘客站立在其上的与实线部段对应的为被第一种光标识出的第一类部段21,实线部段之间的部段则对应于第二类部段22,且在板式输送机20的给定循环运行期间,第一种光将与其标识出的第一类部段21一起移动。当然,根据实际应用,由第一种光标识的第一类部段21也可以是不允许乘客站立在其上的部段,而没有被第一种光标识的第二类部段22才是允许乘客站立在其上的部段。
由此,根据该实施例的乘客运输装置,光源在控制模块40的控制下,在板式输送机20的每个循环运行期间通过其发光模式来为乘客提供视觉指示,比如使乘客只乘坐板式输送机20的被第一种光标识的第一类部段21或使乘客只乘坐板式输送机20的不被第一种光标识的第二类部段22,来指示乘客彼此间隔开地乘坐板式输送机20。此外,由于控制模块40在板式输送机20的每个循环运行期间控制其相应的发光模式,可以避免在若干连续的循环运行期间第一种光标识板式输送机20的完全相同的部段,从而避免在连续的循环运行期间乘坐该乘客运输装置的乘客触摸其扶手带70的相同的区域。
根据一种具体的实施方式,光源还被配置为可以发出与第一种光不同的第二种光,板式输送机20的第二类部22段则由该第二种光标识,且第二种光也伴随板式输送机20而沿预定路线移动。根据一个具体的实施方式,可以通过控制模块40控制沿着预定路线设置在裙板处的LED灯带11和/或设置在扶手带附近的LED灯带12发出第一种光和第二种光。根据另一种具体的实施方式,可以通过控制模块40控制所述一个或多个投射器(未示出)向板式输送机20分别投射第一种光和第二种光。更加具体地,第一种光和第二种光的颜色不同,例如第一种光是红色光,第二种光是绿色光;可选地,第一种光和第二种光的图案不同,例如第一种光是条纹光线,而第二种光是点状图案;当然,也可以设置为第一种光和第二种光的颜色和图案均不相同。能够将第一种光与第二种光彼此区分开的其它方式也是可行的,这里仅仅是示意性的说明。且在该实施方式中,可以规定只允许乘客站立在板式输送机20的被第一种光标识的第一类部段21上,而不允许乘客站立在由第二种光标识的第二类部段22上,以指示乘客以彼此间隔开的方式乘坐乘客运输装置;当然,相反的规定也是可行的。此时,例如如图2和3所示,其中乘客站立在其上的与实线部段对应的为被第 一种光标识出的第一类部段21,实线部段之间的部段则对应于被第二种光标识的第二类部段22。
根据一些具体的实施方式,参照图2-3,在光源只发射第一种光的情况下,控制模块40可被配置为控制在板式输送机20的每个循环运行期间由第一种光标识的每个第一类部段21的长度。例如,控制模块40可被配置为,在板式输送机20的相邻循环运行期间改变由第一种光标识的第一类部段21中的一个或多个的长度。控制模块40也可以被配置为在板式输送机20的相邻循环运行期间至少部分地改变由第一种光标识的部段。
例如在乘客运输装置是自动扶梯的情况下,乘客运输装置的板式输送机20包括多个梯级,假设将梯级相继标记为梯级a、梯级b、梯级c、梯级d、…、梯级h(未示出),则可以通过控制模块40实现,在板式输送机20的第一循环运行期间,第一种光以以下模式标识梯级:梯级a、梯级b;梯级e、梯级f;即此时梯级a-b和梯级e-f是第一类部段;而梯级c、梯级d、梯级g、梯级h则不被第一种光标识,即此时梯级c-d和梯级g-h是第二类部段。紧接着,在板式输送机20的第二循环运行期间,可通过控制模块40控制光源发出的第一种光标识梯级c-d和g-h,即此时梯级c-d和g-h是第一类部段;而梯级a-b和梯级e-f不被第一种光标识,即此时梯级a-b和梯级e-f是第二类部段。即,在板式输送机20的第一循环运行和第二循环运行之间,改变了由第一种光标识的部段;之后,在板式输送机20的第三循环运行期间,可通过控制模块40控制光源发出的第一种光标识梯级b-d和梯级g-h,而梯级e-f和梯级a则不被第一种光标识,可见,这时部分地改变了由一种光标识的部段和其长度。当然,这里列举的示例只是为了说明的目的,而不是限制性的,可以根据需要通过控制器实现光源的多种发光模式,所述多种发光模式在板式输送机的若干循环运行之间进行变化,来尽量错开相邻循环之间运行乘客站立的梯级或部段,从而尽量避免在连续的循环运行期间乘坐该乘客运输装置的乘客触摸扶手带70的相同的区域。
根据一些具体的实施方式,参照图2-3,在光源被控制为发射第一种光和第二种光的情况下,控制模块40可被配置为控制在板式输送机20的每个循环运行期间由第一种光和/或第二种光所标识的每个第一类部段21和/或第二类部段22的长度。例如,控制模块40可被配置为,在板式输送机20的相邻循环运行期间改变由第一种光和/或第二种光所标识的第一类部段21和/或第二类部 段22的长度。控制模块40也可以被配置为在板式输送机20的相邻循环运行期间至少部分地改变板式输送机的由第一种光和/或第二种光标识的部段。这同样可以参照上述具体示例进行理解。
在一种具体的实施方式中,在只允许乘客站立在板式输送机20的被第一种光标识的第一类部段21的情况中,可以存在一个特定第二类部段,在板式输送机20的若干连续循环运行期间,可以仅仅通过控制器改变该一个特定第二类部段的长度,而所有第一类部段21和其他第二类部段22以原来的长度根据该一个特定第二部段的长度的改变而沿着板式输送机20错位,这样即可以实现改变由第一种光和第二种光所标识的相应部段,从而尽量避免在连续的循环运行期间乘坐该乘客运输装置的乘客触摸扶手带70的相同的区域。
应注意,控制模块的控制可以在每个循环运行期间随机进行,也可以基于一定的逻辑、规则和算法进行,例如至少根据板式输送机的长度或梯级数量和速递等,以更加精确地控制第一类部段和第二类部段在每个循环运行期间的分布。
根据一些实施例,如图1所示,乘客运输装置还包括监测模块30,该监测模块30可以被配置为监测进入运输乘客运输装置的乘客的数量并能够与控制模块40进行通信,该监测模块30例如包括摄像头。根据一种具体的实施方式,当监测模块30例如通过摄像头监测到结伴到来的多个人将一起乘坐乘客运输装置时,例如一家人,控制模块40可以被配置为在这种情况下能够加长板式输送机20的由第一种光标识的、将承载这多个人的第一类部段21的长度,以允许结伴到来的多个人(如一家人)一起乘坐板式输送机20的同一个第一类部段21,这在有需要被照顾的老人或孩子的情况下尤其有用。
此外,还可以规定,在监测模块30监测到乘坐乘客运输装置的人流量较大时,控制模块40被配置为减小板式输送机20的由第二种光和/或第一种光标识的第二类部段22和/或第一类部段21的长度,即在这种情况下可以适当减小板式输送机20上的乘客之间的距离,以提高乘客运输装置的载流量,这同样有利于尽快疏散密集人流。
根据一些实施例,乘客运输装置还包括紫外线消毒器件(未示出),其被设置为定时或者根据需要对扶手带70进行消毒。例如,紫外线消毒器件可在板式输送机20进行若干循环运行期间完成对扶手带70的一次消毒。在这种情况下,控制模块40被控制为尤其在该若干循环运行之间错开第一类部段21和 /或第二类部段22在板式输送机20上的分布。在更加具体的实施方式中,控制模块40还被配置为控制紫外线消毒器件的开启、关闭和/或强度。
根据某些实施例,例如如图1所示,乘客运输装置还可以包括一个或多个扬声器50,其中一个扬声器50可以设置在乘客运输装置的入口处。需要说明的是,由于乘客运输装置的前进方向可能更换,因此可以在两端均设置扬声器50,如图1所示。扬声器50被配置向进入乘客运输装置的乘客播放语音提示,以提醒乘客站立在由第一种光标识的第一类部段21上。进一步地,当监控器件监测到违反规则的乘客时,还可以使扬声器播放语音提示,以提醒违反规则的乘客在第一类部段21上站立。
此外,例如如图4所示,根据一些实施例,乘客运输装置还可以包括虚拟辅助器件60,虚拟辅助器件60可以例如设置在乘客运输装置的入口处。该虚拟辅助器件60能够显示虚拟人形影像,包括且不限于成人、小孩、卡通人物等的影像,和/或该虚拟辅助器件能够发出语音提示,以从视觉和/或听觉上向乘客传递信息。或者该虚拟辅助器件仅显示虚拟人形影像以从视觉上向乘客传递信息,同时与扬声器50配合传递听觉信息,以向进入所述乘客运输装置的乘客提供欢迎信息,或提供在第一类部段21上站立而不要在第二类部段22上站立的提示等。
上文中参照优选的实施例详细描述了本发明所提出的乘客运输装置的示范性实施方式,然而本领域技术人员可理解的是,在不背离本发明理念的前提下,可以对上述具体实施例做出多种变型和改型,且可以对本发明提出的各种技术特征、结构进行多种组合,而不超出本发明的保护范围。
本公开的范围并非由上述描述的实施方式来限定,而是由所附的权利要求书及其等同范围来限定。
