Embodiments of the invention are described below with reference to accompanying drawings.
(first embodiment)
Fig. 1 is the block diagram of expression according to the outward appearance of the automatic operation type man conveyor of no post of the first embodiment of the present invention.Fig. 1 shows the layout of the what is called " escalator " with an inclination angle.Fig. 2 is the birds-eye view that schematically shows the layout when observing this passenger conveyer from the top.Fig. 3 is the lateral plan that schematically shows the layout when observing this passenger conveyer from the side.
As shown in Figure 1, the passenger conveyer 11 of present embodiment has a plurality of ladders 12 that are used for conveying people and stands upright on the pair of armrests 13 of ladder 12 both sides.Ladder 12 is pedals of being made by for example die casting aluminium, and is connected in without end between the inlet/outlet of a pair of upper and lower.Ladder 12 is supported at a predetermined angle by the truss (not shown), circular flow between inlet/outlet.
This to handrail 13 below, outside plate (outer deck) 14 and inner panel 15 are arranged on both sides, thereby balustrade panel 16 are clipped in the middle.Balustrade panel 16 is made by for example clear glass or propylene.The moving hand-rail 17 that is coated with rubber or other analogue is balustrade panel 16 peripheral formation.Moving hand-rail 17 and ladder 12 same moved further.
At the inlet/outlet place, have with the rake 18 of ladder 12 same widths and draw in/pull out the formation of place, (draw-in/draw-out) hole at ladder.Draw at this ladder/the pull-out-hole place, rake 18 contacts with ladder 12, enters inner machine room to stop dust and analogue on the ladder 12.
On the floor surface before the inlet/outlet, in preset range, place inlet/exit plate 19, skid in the time of for example can making the rough surface of inlet/outlet plate 19 enter or leave to prevent the passenger.Be noted that the machine room (not shown) is positioned at inlet/outlet plate 19 belows.The liftable inlet/outlet plate 19 of operating personal and enter machine room and safeguard.
As shown in Figure 2, passenger conveyer 11 comprises first passenger sensor 21,22 and second passenger sensor 23, as being used to realize the passenger sensor of operation automatically.
Near first passenger sensor, 21, the 22 induction inlet/outlets passenger.In these sensors, first passenger sensor (A) 21 is installed near the inlet/outlet of outside plate 14 ends, thereby the sensor output surface points to the direction that the passenger enters.The induction range of reference number 24 expression first passenger sensors (A) 21 (especially, the output area of the sensor signal sent from first passenger sensor (A) 21 of expression).Two induction ranges 24 extend predetermined distance substantially in parallel to each other from the inlet/outlet both sides.
First passenger sensor (B) 22 is installed near the inlet/outlet of opposite side of first passenger sensor (A) 21, i.e. the end portion of inner panel 15.First passenger sensor (B) 22 inwardly rotates, and forms predetermined angular with passenger's approach axis.The induction range of reference number 25 expression first passenger sensors (B) 22 (especially, the output area of the sensor signal sent from first passenger sensor (B) 22 of expression).Two induction ranges 25 extend predetermined distance from the inlet/outlet both sides, thereby intersect mutually near the end portion of inlet/outlet plate 19.
First passenger sensor 21 and 22 appearance induction range 26 internal induction passengers/leave.By the width of first passenger sensor 21 and 22 induction ranges that form 26 at least greater than the width of ladder 12, and equal to stand upright on ladder 12 both sides substantially this to the interval W between the handrail 13.The length of induction range 26 (direction that the passenger enters) draws at the distance ladder/scope of the fore-end one preset distance L of the rake 18 at pull-out-hole place in.Preset distance L enters the necessary minor increment of road ahead for the induction passenger.Especially, preset distance L is 1.7 to 1.9m.
As shown in Figure 3, along with the distance with inlet/outlet increases, first passenger sensor 21 and 22 induction range 24 and 25 raise apart from floor surface 20.It should be noted that first passenger sensor 21 and 22 for example is installed near (having standard heights) feet of passengers. First passenger sensor 21 and 22 induction range 24 and 25 raise gradually from these installation sites, for example up to the about position of the occupant waist of these scope rear end.
Second passenger sensor, 23 passengers of induction before the reference position of each ladder 12 appearance/leave.As shown in Figure 2, second passenger sensor 23 is installed near above-mentioned this rake 18 to the inner panel 15 of the below of one of handrail 13, thereby makes the sensor output surface relative with the inner panel 15 of another handrail 13.The induction range of reference number 27 expression second passenger sensor 23 among Fig. 2 (especially, the output area of the sensor signal sent from second passenger sensor 23 of expression).Induction range 27 extends to another handrail 13 and keeps predetermined height from a handrail 13.
Note, in order to respond to the passenger who goes on ladder 12 reliably at the inlet/outlet place or 12 the passenger of descending steps, second passenger sensor 23 for example is installed near (having standard heights) feet of passengers.
For example can use the reflection type optical sensor as passenger sensor 21,22,23, integrated light radiating portion and light receiving part in these sensors.Also can make the sensor that separates with light receiving part with the light radiating portion, perhaps use sonac.That is to say that in the present invention, type of sensor is unrestricted.
In this layout, when the passenger who uses passenger conveyer 11 from road ahead or enter inlet/outlet from the side and enter the induction range 24 that comprises first passenger sensor (A) 21 that is installed in the outside plate 14 and during the induction range 26 of the induction range 25 that is installed in first passenger sensor (B) 22 in the inner panel 14, respond to this passenger's appearance, passenger conveyer 11 brings into operation.
When this passenger is going on when striding across the induction range 27 that is installed in second passenger sensor 23 the inner panel 15 before the ladder 12 that pull out the position of rake 18, respond to this passenger's appearance, and measure the moment that the operation of passenger conveyer 11 will stop.
Fig. 4 represents to be used to control the controller 31 of the operation of above-mentioned passenger conveyer 11.Controller 31 is installed in the machine room of the below of floor surface for example.
As shown in Figure 4, controller 31 is a computing machine, based on the operation of preset program control passenger conveyer 11.Controller 31 is connected in first passenger sensor (A), 21, the first passenger sensors (B) 22 and second passenger sensor 23, also is connected in the time meter 32 of the time of run that is used for definite passenger conveyer 11.
Reference number 33 expression passenger conveyer driver trains comprise the motor that for example is used to drive ladder 12.Driving according to the output control signal control passenger conveyer driver train 33 that comes self-controller 31.
The operation of first embodiment is described below.
Fig. 5 is the diagram of circuit of expression according to the operation control of the passenger conveyer 11 of first embodiment of the invention.Process shown in this diagram of circuit is according to being carried out by the described step of controller 31 cargo-carring programs as shown in Figure 4.
When not having the passenger, the operation of passenger conveyer 11 is stopped, i.e. the driving of each ladder 12 is stopped.In this state, be installed in first passenger sensor (A) 21 in the outside plate 14 and be installed in the appearance of first passenger sensor (B), the 22 induction passengers in the inner panel 15/leave.
If first passenger sensor (A) 21 or first passenger sensor (B) 22 are switched on (being "Yes" in steps A 11), then controller 31 determines that based on sensor signal the passenger enters induction range shown in Figure 2 26, and by passenger conveyer driver train 33 driving ladders 12, thereby the operation (steps A 12) of startup passenger conveyer 11.If first passenger sensor (A) 21 or first passenger sensor (B) 22 keep closing (being "No" in steps A 11), then controller 31 waits by the time sense the passenger always.
When the operation of passenger conveyer 11 starts, then by being installed in the appearance of second passenger sensor, the 23 induction passengers in the inner panel 15.If second passenger sensor 23 is switched on (being "Yes" in steps A 13), then controller 31 determines that based on this sensor signal the passenger strides across induction range shown in Figure 2 27 and goes on ladder 12, and starts time meter 32 (steps A 14).If second passenger sensor 23 keeps closing (being "No" in steps A 13), the then operation of controller 31 maintenance passenger conveyers 11.
Time meter 32 is measured the standing time of operation.If controller 31 confirms to have crossed schedule time T (being "Yes" in steps A 15) by time meter 32, then controller 31 stops to drive ladder 12 by man conveyor mechanism 33, thereby stops the operation (steps A 16) of passenger conveyer 11.If schedule time T does not cross (being "No") in steps A 15, then controller 31 continues to carry out time measurement by time meter 32.
This schedule time T slightly is longer than with command speed the passenger is transported to the time that another inlet/outlet is experienced from an inlet/outlet.If will cross schedule time T after 23 connections of second passenger sensor, then controller 31 stops the operation of passenger conveyer 11, to timer 32 zero clearings and wait.If because for example another passenger enters and second passenger sensor 23 is connected once more, 31 pairs of timers 32 of controller reset, so that begin to measure standing time from this point.
As mentioned above, in the automatic operation type man conveyor 11 of no post, first passenger sensor 21 and 22 is installed in outside plate 14 and the inner panel 15, with in Width and the vertically minimum necessary induction range 26 internal induction passengers' of regulation appearance/leave.By this layout, can avoid sensing the passenger of passenger conveyer 11 sides that passes by, and avoid sensing the passenger in passenger conveyer 11 the place aheads except that the passenger who uses passenger conveyer 11.
Therefore, different with common passenger conveyer, there is the unnecessary operation that causes by the sensor sensing mistake hardly.Therefore in addition, because the startup of operation and stop can not repeated by those unnecessary operations can prolong the life-span of automatic operation type man conveyor.
And as shown in Figure 3, along with the distance with first passenger sensor (A) 21 and first passenger sensor (B) 22 increases, induction range 24 and 25 increases apart from floor surface 20.This just can respond to the passenger who uses passenger conveyer 11 reliably.
When first passenger sensor 21 and 22 is sensed the passenger, start the operation of passenger conveyer 11.Therefore, when the induction range 27 that strides across second passenger sensor 23 as this passenger was gone on ladder 12, passenger conveyer 11 was with the specified speed smooth operation.As a result, when he or she stands on the ladder 12, can be carried safely and need not anyly be quickened.Determine vertical (direction that the passenger enters) length L of induction range 26,, and stably move passenger conveyer when walking up when the passenger is actual so that minimum necessary range internal induction passenger.
(second embodiment)
The second embodiment of the present invention is described below.
As shown in Figure 6, second embodiment adopts two passenger conveyers that are set up in parallel 41 and 42 that connect the floor, upper and lower of station or similar site.Passenger conveyer 41 and 42 is the automatic operation type man conveyor of no post.Passenger conveyer 41 only is used for upwards operation.Reference number 43 expression passenger inlets; Reference number 44 expression passenger outlets.Passenger conveyer 42 only is used for downward operation.Reference number 45 expression passenger inlets; Reference number 46 expression passenger outlets.
The passenger sensor that is used for realizing operation automatically is installed in the inlet 45 and outlet 46 of the inlet 43 of passenger conveyer 41 and outlet 44 and passenger conveyer 42.Explain the layout of these sensors below with reference to Fig. 7.
Fig. 7 is the birds-eye view that schematically shows the layout when observing passenger conveyer 41,42 from the top.
That is to say that passenger conveyer 41 comprises a plurality of ladders 51, outside plate 52 and inner panel 53 are clipped in the middle balustrade panel 54 at ladder 51 two ends.Ladder 51 is connected without end, and the inlet 43 and export 44 between circular flow.
Moving hand-rail 54a forms in the periphery of each balustrade panel, and with ladder 51 same moved further.Rake 55 and 56 forms at inlet 43 and outlet 44 places respectively.Rake 55 and 56 draws at ladder/and pull-out-hole contacts with ladder 51, avoids dust and analogue to enter machine room.
Passenger conveyer 42 has identical layout.That is to say that passenger conveyer 42 comprises a plurality of ladders 71, outside plate 72 and inner panel 73 are clipped in the middle balustrade panel 74 at ladder 71 two ends.Ladder 71 is connected without end, and the inlet 45 and export 46 between circular flow.
Moving hand-rail 74a forms in the periphery of each balustrade panel, and with ladder 71 same moved further.Rake 75 and 76 forms at inlet 45 and outlet 46 places respectively.Rake 75 and 76 draws at ladder/and pull-out-hole contacts with ladder 71, avoids dust and analogue to enter machine room.
The inlet 43 of passenger conveyer 41 has as being used to realize first passenger sensor (A) 61a of the sensor of operation automatically, first passenger sensor (B) 62a, and the second passenger sensor 63a.
Near the first passenger sensor 61a and the 62a induction inlet 43 passenger.In these sensors, first passenger sensor (A) 61a is installed near the inlet 43 of outside plate 52 ends, so that the output surface of this sensor points to the direction that the passenger enters.First passenger sensor (B) 62a is installed near the inlet 43 with first passenger sensor (A) 61a opposite side, i.e. inner panel 52 ends.First passenger sensor (B) 62a inwardly rotates, and the direction that enters with the passenger forms predetermined angle.
Among sensor 61a, 62a and the 63a in the sensor 21,22 and 23 of the layout of each and first embodiment layout of each identical, therefore will omit its detailed explanation.Reference number 64a represents the induction range that formed by the first passenger sensor 61a and 62a; Reference number 65a represents the induction range that formed by the second passenger sensor 63a.
Similarly, the outlet 44 of passenger conveyer 41 has first passenger sensor (A) 61b, first passenger sensor (B) 62b, and the second passenger sensor 63b.Reference number 64b represents the induction range that formed by the first passenger sensor 61b and 62b; Reference number 65b represents the induction range that formed by the second passenger sensor 63b.
The inlet 45 of passenger conveyer 42 also has identical layout with outlet 46.That is to say that the inlet 45 of passenger conveyer 42 has first passenger sensor (A) 81a, first passenger sensor (B) 82a, and the second passenger sensor 83a.Reference number 84a represents the induction range that formed by the first passenger sensor 81a and 82a; Reference number 85a represents the induction range that formed by the second passenger sensor 83a.
Similarly, the outlet 46 of passenger conveyer 42 has first passenger sensor (A) 81b, first passenger sensor (B) 82b, and the second passenger sensor 83b.Reference number 84b represents the induction range that formed by the first passenger sensor 81b and 82b; Reference number 85b represents the induction range that formed by the second passenger sensor 83b.
As described in first embodiment, for minimum necessary range internal induction passenger, at Width with vertically the induction range 64a at inlet 43 places of passenger conveyer 41 and the induction range 64b at outlet 44 places are regulated.Similarly, for minimum necessary range internal induction passenger, at Width with vertically also the induction range 84a at inlet 45 places of passenger conveyer 42 and the induction range 84b at outlet 46 places are regulated.
In addition, the induction range 84b noninterference at outlet 46 places of the induction range 64a at inlet 43 places of passenger conveyer 41 and passenger conveyer 42.Similarly, the induction range 84a noninterference at inlet 45 places of the induction range 64b at outlet 44 places of passenger conveyer 41 and passenger conveyer 42.
In this layout, when the passenger of the lower floor that wants to utilize the passenger conveyer 41 that only is exclusively used in upwards operation to go upstairs entered by first passenger sensor (A) 61a that is installed in inlet 43 places and induction range 64a that first passenger sensor (B) 62a forms, passenger conveyer 41 began upwards to move.When the induction range 65a of passenger by the second passenger sensor 63a goes on the 51 back schedule times of ladder when over and done with, passenger conveyer 41 stops upwards operation.
On the other hand, when the passenger on the upper strata that the passenger conveyer 42 that will utilize downward operation is gone downstairs only entered by first passenger sensor (A) 81a that is installed in inlet 45 places and induction range 84a that first passenger sensor (B) 82a forms, passenger conveyer 42 beginnings moved downwards.When the induction range 85a of passenger by the second passenger sensor 83a goes on the 71 back schedule times of ladder when over and done with, passenger conveyer 42 stops downward operation.
If the passenger enters the outlet 44 of passenger conveyer 41 mistakenly, then be installed in the first passenger sensor 61b, the 62b at outlet 44 places and the operation that second passenger sensor 63b enforcement avoids this mistake to enter, this is equally applicable to the outlet 46 of passenger conveyer 42.That is to say,, then be installed in the first passenger sensor 81b, the 82b at outlet 46 places and the operation that second passenger sensor 83b enforcement avoids this mistake to enter if the passenger enters the outlet 46 of passenger conveyer 42 mistakenly.
Explained later is used to realize the layout of the controller of aforesaid operations control.Although for for simplicity, explanation is used for the layout of the controller of passenger conveyer 41, passenger conveyer 42 has identical controller.
Fig. 8 is the block scheme of layout of the controller 91 of the expression operation that is used to control passenger conveyer 41.Controller 91 is installed in for example machine room of floor surface below with the controller that is used for passenger conveyer 42.
As shown in Figure 8, controller 91 is a computing machine, based on the operation of preset program control passenger conveyer 41.Controller 91 is connected in first passenger sensor (A) 61a that is installed in inlet 43 places, first passenger sensor (B) 62a and the second passenger sensor 63a, also be connected in first passenger sensor (A) 61b that is installed in outlet 44 places, first passenger sensor (B) 62b and the second passenger sensor 63b also are connected in the time meter 92 of the time of run that is used for determining passenger conveyer 41.
Reference number 93 expression passenger conveyer driver trains comprise the motor that for example is used to drive ladder 51.Driving according to the output control signal control passenger conveyer driver train 93 that comes self-controller 91.
Reference number 94 expression alarm devices.Alarm device 94 is installed near the inlet 43 and outlet each in 44 of passenger conveyer 41.If the passenger enters from exporting 44 mistakenly, then alarm device 94 provides alarm by producing buzzer.
The operation of second embodiment is described below.
Fig. 9 is the diagram of circuit of expression according to the operation control of the passenger conveyer 41 of second embodiment of the invention.Process shown in this diagram of circuit is to carry out according to the process that is limited by as shown in Figure 8 controller 91 cargo-carring programs.
When not having the passenger, the operation of passenger conveyer 41 is stopped, i.e. the driving of each ladder 51 is stopped.In this state, be switched on (being "Yes" in step B11) if be installed in first passenger sensor (A) 61a or first passenger sensor (B) 62a at inlet 43 places, then controller 91 starts upwards operation of passenger conveyer 41, i.e. " normal operation ".The process of this operational process is identical with diagram of circuit shown in Figure 5, therefore omits its detailed explanation.
On the other hand, be switched on (being "Yes" in step B12) passenger conveyer 41 off-duties (being "No" in step B11) if be installed in first passenger sensor (A) 61b or first passenger sensor (B) 62b at outlet 44 places, then controller 91 determines that the passenger has entered outlet 44 mistakenly.Therefore, controller 91 only upwards moves one period schedule time by making passenger conveyer 41, notify the passenger he or she entered opposite direction, i.e. " oppositely inlet stop operation " (step B13).
If the passenger notices this point, controller 91 stops passenger conveyer 41 and returns wait state (being "No" in step B12) once more.If the passenger continues to enter outlet 44 and the second passenger sensor 63b connected (being "Yes" in step B14), then controller 91 produces the alarm buzzer through alarm device 94, thus warning passenger (step B15).As long as the second passenger sensor 63b senses the passenger, then this alarm just continues.
If the first passenger sensor 61b or 62b sense the passenger, but the second passenger sensor 63b does not sense the passenger, and then controller 91 stops passenger conveyer 41 and returns wait state (being "No" in step B14) once more.
Method by way of caution, also exportable speech message replaces above-mentioned alarm buzzing, as " you are entering outlet.Please stop danger ".In addition, alert message also can be presented on the read out instrument.
Passenger conveyer 42 is implemented identical operations.That is to say, sense the passenger and enter outlet 46 that then controller implements oppositely that inlet stops operation if be installed near the first passenger sensor 81b or the 82b of outlet 46.If the second passenger sensor 83b senses this passenger, then controller gives the alarm.
As mentioned above, in the automatic operation type man conveyor 41 of no post and 42 of installing mutually contiguously, the first passenger sensor 61a, 62a and the first passenger sensor 81a, 82a are installed in outside plate 52,72 and the inner panel 53,73, and in the minimum necessary induction range 64a of Width and vertical regulation, 84a internal induction passenger's appearance/leave.Utilize this layout, can be by only responding to the automatic operation that the passenger who utilizes this passenger conveyer 41,42 realizes not having run-time error.
And, because outlet 44 and 46 has and the identical layout that enters the mouth, therefore can avoid the passenger to enter mistakenly.
In addition, mutual contiguous first sensor noninterference.Therefore, run-time error does not take place, and the safe operation of passenger conveyer can be provided.
Be noted that by with " escalator " as the instance interpretation of passenger conveyer each embodiment, still, the present invention also can be used for not having the automatic operation type of post " movable sidewalk ".In this case, as mentioned above, avoid responding to mistake by passenger sensor being installed, thereby can implement automatic operation at inlet/outlet.
Before first passenger sensor is sensed the passenger, also can under predetermined speed, drive passenger conveyer.This predetermined speed is lower than the specified speed of normal operation.
When first passenger sensor was sensed the passenger, the running velocity of passenger conveyer increased to the specified speed of normal operation.Afterwards,, then timer is opened, specified speed is kept the schedule time if second passenger sensor is sensed this passenger.If second passenger sensor is not sensed the passenger, then the running velocity of passenger conveyer is decreased to low speed from specified speed.Afterwards, when the schedule time was over and done with, the running velocity of passenger conveyer began to reduce from specified speed, and kept low cruise.
This operation can be shortened the driving time of origin of passenger conveyer, and can notify the direction of passenger's steps advance.
And the method that the passenger conveyer of having carried the passenger is stopped to start this operation and also senses the passenger by second passenger sensor of entrance and work the method that stops this operation when having passed through the schedule time when not necessarily sensing the passenger by first passenger sensor of entrance.That is to say, also can after sensing the passenger who goes down this passenger conveyer, stop this operation by first or second passenger sensor in exit.
In this case, if use said method, promptly under the driven at a predetermined velocity state of passenger conveyer (idle condition), improve the method for the running velocity of passenger conveyer when sensing the passenger by first passenger sensor, then sense after the passenger who goes down passenger conveyer by first or second passenger sensor in exit, passenger conveyer slows down, thereby returns idle condition.
Because after confirming that the passenger has got off, this control stops operation or slows down, therefore can more reliable and secure ground conveying people.
Also a plurality of second passenger sensors can be installed in the inner panel along the ladder moving direction.By this layout, can sense the position of passenger in the passenger conveyer, and eliminate when second passenger sensor is sensed the passenger, to rise and passed through passenger when the schedule time, passenger conveyer stopped afterwards and still stand in inconvenience on the ladder.
For those of ordinary skills, attendant advantages and modification are to implement easily.Therefore, the present invention is not subjected to the restriction of specific detail and exemplary embodiments here aspect wideer at it.Therefore, can implement various modifications and do not depart from spirit and scope as claims and the present general inventive concept that equivalent description limited thereof.
