Das Antriebselement ist hierbei als Zahnriemen ausgebildet, der Blöcke aufweist, wobei je ein Block mit einer Stufe oder Palette an dem Antriebspunkt verbunden ist.the DE-U 20 100 833 is an escalator or a moving walk with a step or pallet tape to be taken, which is driven by drive elements which extend on both sides of the belt or in the middle under the belt and which rotate between each a diverter wheel and a drive wheel, the steps or pallets depending on Driving points are driven on each drive element. The drive element is in this case designed as a toothed belt having blocks, wherein each block is connected to a step or pallet at the drive point.

Durch die DE-A 3 732 226 ist ein doppelseitiger Zahnriemenfahrtreppenantrieb bekannt geworden, beinhaltend zwei durch einen Motor antreibbare Riemenscheiben mit jeweils einer Vielzahl von nebeneinander liegenden profilierten Zähnen, eine Reihe von miteinander verbundenen Gliedern, die jeweils mit einer Vielzahl von nebeneinander liegenden Zähnen versehen und jeweils mit einer der Stufen verbunden sind und einen flexiblen Zugzahnriemen mit einer ersten und einer zweiten Seite, die jeweils eine Vielzahl von nebeneinander liegenden Zähnen tragen, von denen die Zähne der ersten Seite über einen Bogen mit den Zähnen der Riemenscheiben und die Zähne an der zweiten Seite linear mit den Zähnen der Glieder kämmen.By the DE-A 3 732 226 For example, there has been known a double-sided timing belt drive, comprising two motor driven pulleys each having a plurality of adjacent profiled teeth, a series of interconnected links each provided with a plurality of adjacent teeth and each connected to one of the steps a flexible pull-toothed belt having first and second sides each carrying a plurality of adjacent teeth of which the teeth of the first side mesh with the teeth of the pulleys and the teeth on the second side mesh linearly with the teeth of the links ,

In der US-A 3,365,051 wird ein Rollsteig beschrieben, der in seinen Kopfbereichen ohne Umlenkscheiben auskommt. Kopfseitig sind antreibbare Riemenelemente vorgesehen, die in entsprechend gezahnte Bereiche der Paletten eingreifen und das Antriebsmittel für den Rollsteig, respektive dessen Palettenband bilden. Die einzelnen Paletten sind über Rollen miteinander verbunden.In the US-A 3,365,051 is described a moving walkway, which manages in its head areas without deflecting discs. On the head side drivable belt elements are provided, which engage in corresponding toothed areas of the pallets and form the drive means for the moving walk, respectively the pallet band. The individual pallets are connected to each other via rollers.

Der US-A 6.085,891 ist ein Palettenkörper für Rollsteige zu entnehmen, bestehend aus einer Trittplatte mit verzahnten Vorder und Hinterkanten, Verbindungselementen zur Aufnahme und zur Führung von Verbindungs- und/oder Antriebsorganen sowie Trittplattenabstützelementen zur Aufnahme und zur Führung von mit korrespondierenden Bauteilen bestückten vorausgehenden bzw. nachfolgenden Palettenkörpern, wobei die einstückig mit der Trittplatte hergestellten Verbindungselemente und die Trittplattenabstützelemente unterhalb derselben angeordnet sind und mit vorgebbarem Abstand über die Vorder und Hinterkanten der Trittplatte hinausragen. Als Antriebsorgan kommt eine übliche Kette, insbesondere eine Laschenkette, zum Einsatz. Zur Minimierung von Spalten zwischen benachbarten Paletten sind die Verzahnungen ineinandergreifend vorgesehen.Of the US-A 6,085,891 a pallet body for moving walks to remove, consisting of a tread plate with toothed front and rear edges, connecting elements for receiving and guiding of connecting and / or drive members and Trittplattenabstützelementen for receiving and guiding equipped with corresponding components preceding and subsequent pallet bodies, said the integrally formed with the tread plate connecting elements and the Trittplattenabstützelemente are arranged below the same and protrude at a predetermined distance beyond the front and rear edges of the tread plate.

In der US-A 5,595,278 wird eine Personenfördereinrichtung beschrieben, beinhaltend eine Vielzahl benachbarter Paletten, die über eine Palettenkette miteinander verbunden sind und über selbige angetrieben werden. Die Paletten sind über Verbindungselemente in ihren Berührungsbereichen gelenkig miteinander verbunden, wobei mehrere Rollen im Bereich einer jeden Palettenseite vorgesehen sind.In the US-A 5,595,278 a passenger conveyor is described, including a plurality of adjacent pallets, which are connected to each other via a pallet chain and are driven by selbige. The pallets are hingedly connected to one another via connecting elements in their areas of contact, wherein a plurality of rollers are provided in the region of each pallet side.

Schließlich offenbart die EP-A 13792 ein Verbindungsmittel für Paletten eines Rollsteiges, wobei die Paletten außerhalb des Transportbereiches um eine Vertikalachse umlenkbar sind, so dass zwei parallel verlaufende Transportbereiche gebildet werden. Außerhalb der Transportbereiche werden die Paletten von den Verbindungsmitteln selbsttätig getrennt, so dass eine problemlose Umlenkung der Paletten möglich ist. Außerhalb der Transportbereiche, d.h. unterhalb der Kammplatten, findet eine erneute selbsttätige Kopplung der einzelnen Paletten statt, so dass im Transportbereich dann wieder der bekannte durchgehende Palettenstrang gebildet ist.Finally, the reveals EP-A 13792 a connecting means for pallets of a moving walkway, wherein the pallets outside the transport area are deflectable about a vertical axis, so that two parallel transport areas are formed. Outside the transport areas, the pallets are automatically separated by the connecting means, so that a problem-free deflection of the pallets is possible. Outside the transport areas, ie below the comb plates, a renewed automatic coupling of the individual pallets takes place, so that in the transport area then again the known continuous pallet strand is formed.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen gattungsbildenden Rollsteig dahingehend weiterzubilden, dass bei stabiler Führung des Palettenbandes eine Verbindung zwischen den einzelnen Paletten nicht mehr gegeben ist, wodurch eine geringe Umlaufbauhöhe im jeweiligen Umlenkbereich der einzelnen Paletten möglich wird.The invention has the object of developing a generic type moving walkway to the effect that with stable guidance of the pallet strip a Connection between the individual pallets is no longer given, creating a low circulation height in the respective deflection of the individual pallets is possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass eine jede Palette je Seite mit einer einzelnen Führungsrolle versehen ist, und dass, in Transportrichtung gesehen, sich der hintere Bereich einer jeden Palette auf einem vorderen Bereich einer nachfolgenden Palette, einen Stützbereich bildend, abstützt, und dass die Antriebsmittel durch mindestens einen Antriebsriemen gebildet sind, der über Ansätze verfügt, über welche er mit korrespondierenden Bauteilen der Paletten in Wirkverbindung bringbar ist.This object is achieved in that each pallet on each side is provided with a single guide roller, and that, seen in the transport direction, the rear portion of each pallet on a front portion of a subsequent range, forming a support area, supported, and that the Drive means are formed by at least one drive belt, which has lugs over which it can be brought into operative connection with corresponding components of the pallets.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des Erfindungsgegenstandes sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Advantageous developments of the subject invention can be found in the dependent claims.

Jede der einzelnen Paletten ist beim Erfindungsgegenstand nur an einer Stelle je Seite mit dem Antriebsmittel, insbesondere dem jeweiligen Antriebsriemen, verbunden. Es besteht keine weitere Verbindung zwischen den einzelnen Paletten. Der Vorteil dieser Lösung ist darin begründet, dass ohne Berücksichtigung des Polygoneffektes die einzelnen Paletten entlang einer speziellen Führungsbahn bei geringer Umlaufhöhe der Paletten einfach umgelenkt werden können.Each of the individual pallets is in the subject invention only at one point on each side connected to the drive means, in particular the respective drive belt. There is no further connection between the individual pallets. The advantage of this solution is that without taking into account the polygon effect, the individual pallets along a special guideway at low orbit height of the pallets can be easily redirected.

Um eine Kippbewegung der nicht miteinander verbundenen Paletten im Bereich des Transportweges bzw. des Rücklaufes zu verhindern, ist die Form der Paletten dergestalt ausgelegt, dass sie sich gegenseitig abstützen. Dies wird dadurch realisiert, dass gegensinnig ausgebildete vordere und hintere Absätze vorgesehen werden, wobei, in Transportrichtung gesehen, der jeweilige hintere Absatz einer Palette auf einem korrespondierenden vorderen Absatz einer nachfolgenden Palette aufliegt. Die Absätze sind von ihrer Höhe her so auszugestalten, dass keine Überstände im Transportbereich gebildet werden. In den Paletten können an den Stützstellen darüber hinaus Kunststoffelemente eingelassen werden, die eine Geräuschentwicklung beim Ineinandergreifen der Paletten unterbinden.In order to prevent a tilting movement of the non-interconnected pallets in the region of the transport path or the return, the shape of the pallets is designed such that they support each other. This is realized by providing oppositely formed front and rear shoulders, wherein, as seen in the transport direction, the respective rear shoulder of a pallet rests on a corresponding front shoulder of a subsequent pallet. The heels are to be designed from their height so that no protrusions are formed in the transport area. In the pallets can be embedded in the support points beyond plastic elements that prevent noise when meshing the pallets.

Zum Transport der einzelnen Paletten werden vorteilhafterweise zwei synchron laufende Riemen eingesetzt. Die Riemen werden im Kopfbereich des Rollsteiges über zwei, durch eine Welle miteinander verbundene Synchronscheiben umgelenkt. Als Riemen können sowohl Zahn-, Flach-, Keil- oder Rundriemen eingesetzt werden.For transporting the individual pallets, two synchronously running belts are advantageously used. The belts are deflected in the head region of the moving walkway by means of two synchronizing disks interconnected by a shaft. As a belt toothed, flat, wedge or round belts can be used.

Auf dem Rücken der Riemen aufgebrachte Ansätze dienen zur Anbindung der einzelnen Paletten. Form und Ausführung der Ansätze kann verschiedenartig ausgeführt werden. Die Anbindung der Paletten an den jeweiligen Riemen erfolgt entweder über eine feste Ansatz- Bolzenverbindung oder über eine lose Verbindung in Form eines Mitnehmers.Attached on the back of the belt lugs are used to connect the individual pallets. Shape and design of the approaches can be performed in various ways. The connection of the pallets to the respective belt is carried out either via a fixed neck bolt connection or a loose connection in the form of a driver.

Figur 1 zeigt ein umlaufendes Palettenband 1, beinhaltend mehrere einzelne Paletten 2, die über ein in diesem Beispiel als Zahnriemen ausgebildetes Antriebsmittel 3 entlang einer Transportstrecke bewegbar sind. Im jeweiligen Umlenkbereich sind zwei über eine Synchronwelle 4 miteinander verbundene Synchronscheiben vorgesehen im Bereich derer die synchron laufenden Zahnriemen 3 umlenkbar sind. Eine jede Palette 2 weist je Seite eine einzelne Führungsrolle 6 auf, wobei die einzelnen Paletten 2 nicht miteinander verbunden sind. Die Verbindung zwischen den Paletten 2 und dem Zahnriemen 3 erfolgt über in den folgenden Figuren näher erläuterte Befestigungsmechanismen. FIG. 1 shows a circulating pallet strip 1, including a plurality of individual pallets 2, which are movable over a trained in this example as a toothed belt drive means 3 along a transport path. In the respective deflection region, two synchronizing disks interconnected via a synchronizing shaft 4 are provided in the region of which the synchronously running toothed belts 3 are deflectable. Each pallet 2 has on each side a single guide roller 6, wherein the individual pallets 2 are not connected to each other. The connection between the pallets 2 and the toothed belt 3 via in the following figures explained in more detail fastening mechanisms.

Figur 2 zeigt einen der Umlenkbereiche. Erkennbar sind einzelne Paletten 2, eine Synchronscheibe 5 sowie die Zahnriemen 3 und die Führungsrollen 6. Ferner erkennbar sind aus dem jeweiligen Zahnriemen 3 palettenseitig herausgeformte Ansätze 7, die mit korrespondierend ausgebildeten Bauteilen 8 einer jeden Palette 2 lösbar verbindbar sind. FIG. 2 shows one of the deflection areas. Recognizable are individual pallets 2, a synchronizing disk 5 and the toothed belt 3 and the guide rollers 6. It can also be seen from the respective toothed belt 3 pallet-shaped shaped projections 7, which are detachably connectable with correspondingly formed components 8 of each pallet 2.

In Abhängigkeit der jeweiligen Palettenbreite kann eine sehr geringe Palettenumlaufhöhe realisiert werden, die gegenüber dem Stand der Technik auch geringe Höhen des das Palettenband aufnehmenden Gerüstkörpers mit sich bringt.Depending on the respective pallet width, a very low pallet circulation height can be realized, which, compared with the prior art, also entails small heights of the scaffold body receiving the pallet band.

Diese geringe Palettenumlaufhöhe kann auch bewirken, dass keine Gruben mehr eingesetzt werden müssen, um den Gerüstkörper aufzunehmen, vielmehr kann selbiger auf dem Boden platziert werden, wobei zum Betreten des Transportbereiches dann lediglich eine Rampe geringer Höhe notwendig ist.This low pallet circulation height can also cause no more pits need to be used to accommodate the scaffold body, but selbiges can be placed on the ground, with only a ramp low height is then necessary to enter the transport area.

Figur 3 zeigt als Seitenansicht einen Teil des umlaufenden Palettenbandes 1. Erkennbar sind die einzelnen Paletten 2, die damit verbundenen (einzelnen) Führungsrollen 6, der Zahnriemen 3, die palettenseitig aus dem Zahnriemen 3 herausgeformte nockenartig ausgebildeten Ansätze 7 sowie die korrespondierende einstückig aus den Paletten 2 herausgeformten Befestigungselemente 8. Über eine Schraub- oder Bolzenverbindung zwischen den Bauteilen 7 und 8 kann eine lösbare Verbindung zwischen den Zahnriemen 3 und den Paletten 2 realisiert werden. Die Transportrichtung ist mit einem Pfeil angedeutet. Der jeweils hintere Bereich einer jeden Palette 2 ist mit einem Absatz 9 versehen. Der jeweils vordere Bereich einer nachfolgenden Palette ist mit einem gegensinnig ausgebildeten Absatz 10 ausgebildet. Die Absätze 9,10 bilden einen Stützbereich. Im jeweiligen Stützbereich 9,10 ist auch die einzelne Führungsrolle 6 angeordnet, die auf einer hier nicht weiter dargestellten Führungsbahn abrollt. Die Führungsrolle 6 ist in diesem Beispiel in der Nähe des Absatzes 10 vorgesehen. Zur Vermeidung von Momenten ist es sinnvoll, die jeweilige Führungsrolle 6 bis in den Bereich des Absatzes 10 zu verlegen, soweit genügend Materialdicke gegeben ist. Bezüglich der Breite einer jeden Palette 2 ist der Anlenkpunkt der Bauteile 7,8 in Richtung des hinteren Absatzes 9 verschoben. Bedarfsweise (hier nicht dargestellt) können im Bereich der Absätze 9,10 Kunstoffteile in Ausnehmungen eingebracht werden, die eine Geräuschreduzierung in diesem Bereich mit sich bringen. Jede der einzelnen Paletten 2 ist bei der vorgeschlagenen Lösung nur an einer Stelle je Seite mit dem Zahnriemen 3 verbunden. Es besteht keine weitere Verbindung zwischen den einzelnen Paletten 2. Um eine Kippbewegung der nicht miteinander verbundenen Paletten 2 im Bereich des Transportweges bzw. des Rücklaufes zu verhindern, sind die Absätze 9,10 der einzelnen Paletten 2 so ausgelegt, dass sie sich gegenseitig abstützen. Der vordere Stützbereich 10 einer jeden Palette 2 weist ein abgerundetes freies Ende 10' auf, während der hintere Stützbereich 9 einer jeden Palette 2 über eine Rundung 9' in den vollen Materialquerschnitt der Palette 2 einläuft. FIG. 3 shows the individual pallets 2, the associated (individual) guide rollers 6, the timing belt 3, the pallet side formed out of the timing belt 3 cam-like projections 7 and the corresponding molded in one piece from the pallets 2 Fastening elements 8. A detachable connection between the toothed belt 3 and the pallets 2 can be realized by means of a screw or bolt connection between the components 7 and 8. The transport direction is indicated by an arrow. The respective rear area of each pallet 2 is provided with a shoulder 9. The respective front region of a subsequent pallet is formed with an oppositely formed shoulder 10. The paragraphs 9,10 form a support area. In the respective support region 9,10 and the single guide roller 6 is arranged, which rolls on a guideway not shown here. The guide roller 6 is provided near the shoulder 10 in this example. To avoid moments, it makes sense to move the respective guide roller 6 into the area of paragraph 10, as long as sufficient material thickness is given. With respect to the width of each pallet 2, the pivot point of the Moved components 7,8 in the direction of the rear paragraph 9. If necessary (not shown here) 9,10 plastic parts can be introduced into recesses in the paragraphs, which bring a noise reduction in this area with it. Each of the individual pallets 2 is connected in the proposed solution only at one point per side with the timing belt 3. There is no further connection between the individual pallets 2. To prevent a tilting movement of the unconnected pallets 2 in the region of the transport path or the return, the shoulders 9, 10 of the individual pallets 2 are designed such that they support one another. The front support portion 10 of each pallet 2 has a rounded free end 10 ', while the rear support portion 9 of each pallet 2 enters via a rounding 9' in the full material cross section of the pallet 2.
