Description

本発明は、エスカレーターや電動道路等の乗客コンベアに係り、特に、欄干の実有効幅の拡大に好適な乗客コンベアに関する。   The present invention relates to a passenger conveyor such as an escalator or an electric road, and more particularly to a passenger conveyor suitable for expanding the actual effective width of a balustrade.

従来、左右の欄干に設けた欄干パネルの対向間隔を広げて欄干実有効幅を拡大し、乗客の手荷物などがぶつかり難くした技術は、例えば特許文献1によって既に提案されている。   Conventionally, for example, Patent Literature 1 has already proposed a technique in which the facing width of the balustrade panels provided on the left and right balustrades is widened to increase the effective width of the balustrade and it is difficult for passenger luggage to collide.

W02003/048021号公報(第5図及び第7図)W02003 / 048021 publication (FIGS. 5 and 7)

上記特許文献1に記載の技術においては、乗客の手荷物が欄干パネルにぶつかる機会を少なく出来る点で、余裕を持って乗客コンベアに乗ることが出来る。   In the technique described in Patent Document 1, the passenger's baggage can get on the passenger conveyor with a margin in that the chance of the passenger's baggage hitting the balustrade panel can be reduced.

しかしながら、上記特許文献1の第5図に記載の技術は、移動手摺よりも外側に拡幅された欄干パネルが、拡幅するための凹部とその周縁部に傾斜部を形成した、いわゆる椀形状をなしているため、製作に多大な時間と労力を有していた。また、上記特許文献1の第7図に記載の技術は、移動手摺よりも外側に欄干パネルを配置し、この欄干パネルをガラス等で形成し、かつ支柱を廃止して欄干の強度を欄干パネルで確保したものである。しかしながら、図7に示す欄干では、乗客が移動手摺を握って揺らした場合に欄干パネルが容易に撓んでしまい、破損に至る危険性を有している。また、この欄干パネルの撓みを防止するために、欄干パネルを厚くすると欄干パネル自体が高価となり、加工にも多大な時間と労力を有するという課題があった。   However, the technique described in FIG. 5 of Patent Document 1 has a so-called bowl shape in which the balustrade panel that is widened outside the moving handrail is formed with a concave portion for widening and an inclined portion at the periphery thereof. As a result, it took a lot of time and labor to produce. Further, in the technique described in FIG. 7 of the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the balustrade panel is disposed outside the moving handrail, the balustrade panel is formed of glass or the like, and the strut is abolished so that the balustrade strength is increased. It was secured by. However, the balustrade shown in FIG. 7 has a risk that the balustrade panel easily bends and breaks when the passenger shakes the handrail. Further, in order to prevent the balustrade panel from being bent, if the balustrade panel is made thick, the balustrade panel itself becomes expensive, and there is a problem that it takes a lot of time and labor for processing.

本発明の目的は、製作が容易で欄干パネルの拡幅を実現し手荷物の移動に伴う手摺への衝突を回避できるのは勿論のこと、欄干の機械的強度の確保が簡単な乗客コンベアを提供することにある。   An object of the present invention is to provide a passenger conveyor that is easy to manufacture, realizes widening of the balustrade panel and avoids collision with a handrail accompanying the movement of baggage, as well as ensuring the mechanical strength of the balustrade. There is.

上記目的を達成するために本発明は、左右の移動手摺の対向間隔よりも広い間隔で設置された平坦な欄干パネルと、この欄干パネルと移動手摺との間に生ずる段差を塞ぐ傾斜部材と、これら移動手摺と欄干パネルと傾斜部材とを支持し前記欄干パネルよりも外側に設置した支柱とを備えた左右の欄干を設けたのである。   In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a flat balustrade panel installed at a wider interval than the facing interval between the left and right moving handrails, and an inclined member that blocks a step formed between the balustrade panel and the moving handrail, Left and right balustrades provided with supporting pillars that support the movable handrail, the balustrade panel, and the inclined members and that are installed outside the balustrade panel are provided.

上記構成のように、平坦な欄干パネルと傾斜部材を用いているので、欄干パネルを椀形状に形成する必要はなく、その結果、製作が容易で欄干パネルの拡幅を実現し手荷物の移動に伴う手摺への衝突を回避することができる欄干を得ることができる。また、前記欄干の機械的強度は支柱によって確保できるので、欄干パネルを厚くして機械的強度を持たせる必要はなくなる。   Since the balustrade panel and the slanting member are used as in the above configuration, it is not necessary to form the balustrade panel in a bowl shape. As a result, the balustrade panel is easy to manufacture and widens the balustrade panel, accompanying the movement of baggage A railing that can avoid collision with the handrail can be obtained. Further, since the mechanical strength of the balustrade can be secured by the support, it is not necessary to make the balustrade panel thick to have mechanical strength.

以下本発明一実施の形態である乗客コンベアを、図1〜図4に示すエスカレーターに沿って説明する。   Hereinafter, a passenger conveyor according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described along the escalator shown in FIGS.

一般にエスカレーター1は、建築物の上階2と下階3に跨って設置された主枠4をベースに構成されている。主枠4の上階2側には上部機械室となる上部水平部10が形成され、下階3側には下部機械室となる下部水平部11が形成され、上部水平部10と下部水平部11との間には傾斜部12が連結されている。一般的に、上部水平部10の上部と下部水平部11の上部は、夫々乗客が乗り降りするための乗降床10F,11Fで塞がれている。
このように構成された主枠4の上部水平部10と下部水平部11の乗降床10F,11Fの下には、夫々一対の主スプロケット13と従スプロケット14とが軸支されている。前記主スプロケット13と従スプロケット14には無端状の踏段チェーン17が巻掛けられ、この踏段チェーン17に踏段18が連結されている。また、前記主枠4には、踏段18の移動方向両側に沿って欄干20が立設されており、この欄干20の周縁には踏段18と同じ方向に同一速度で回動する移動手摺21が案内されている。欄干20は、前記主枠4に立設された支柱22と、この支柱22の上端に固定具28を介して固定された手摺枠23と、この手摺枠23の周縁に案内されて移動する移動手摺21とが支持されている。前記支柱22の踏段18側には、直線状の平坦な欄干パネル24が位置し、この欄干パネル24の手摺枠23側には、手摺枠23と欄干パネル24との間の段差部を傾斜状に結ぶ傾斜板50を設置している。傾斜板50は欄干パネル24に対し、ボルト29で固定している。一方、欄干20の下方には、欄干パネル24の下部を被う内デッキカバー26と、この内デッキカバー26と前記踏段18との間を仕切るスカートガード27とが設けられており、前記手摺枠23の外側には外デッキカバー25が設けられている。
また、左右の欄干20の前記欄干パネル24が対向する間隔H1は、前記移動手摺21の対向する間隔H2よりも大きくしている。尚、欄干パネル24と手摺枠23との間に設置した傾斜板50は、手摺枠23と欄干パネル24との間の段差を滑らかに結ぶ傾斜状にして乗客の手荷物が手摺枠23等にぶつからず、矢印Cに示すように、円滑に移動方向が変更されるように案内することができるように構成してある。
このように、欄干パネル24は、従来の傾斜部を有した凹形状から直線状の平坦な形状にすることで、製作が容易で生産性を高めることが出来る。また、欄干パネル24の外側に配設した支柱22によって移動手摺21、手摺枠23、外デッキカバー25や傾斜板50を支持したことで、乗客が移動手摺21を握ったり、揺すったりしたことにより生じる応力は支柱22で負担できることから、欄干パネル24での負担がほとんどなくなり、欄干パネル24を厚く形成する必要はなくなる。また、乗客の手荷物が傾斜板50に接触して方向を変更されるときに、傾斜板50に作用する応力も支柱22によって支持できるので、欄干パネル24にその応力を全て分担させる必要はなくなり、欄干パネル24を厚く形成する必要はなくなる。
In general, the escalator 1 is configured based on a main frame 4 installed across an upper floor 2 and a lower floor 3 of a building. An upper horizontal portion 10 serving as an upper machine room is formed on the upper floor 2 side of the main frame 4, and a lower horizontal portion 11 serving as a lower machine room is formed on the lower floor 3 side. The upper horizontal portion 10 and the lower horizontal portion 11 is connected to the inclined portion 12. In general, the upper part of the upper horizontal part 10 and the upper part of the lower horizontal part 11 are closed by boarding floors 10F and 11F for passengers to get on and off, respectively.
A pair of main sprockets 13 and sub-sprockets 14 are pivotally supported under the upper and lower horizontal portions 10 and 10F and 11F of the lower horizontal portion 11 of the main frame 4 thus configured. An endless step chain 17 is wound around the main sprocket 13 and the sub sprocket 14, and a step 18 is connected to the step chain 17. Moreover, a rail 20 is erected on the main frame 4 along both sides in the moving direction of the step 18, and a moving handrail 21 that rotates at the same speed in the same direction as the step 18 is provided on the periphery of the rail 20. Guided. The balustrade 20 is supported by a support 22 erected on the main frame 4, a handrail frame 23 fixed to the upper end of the support 22 via a fixture 28, and a movement that moves while being guided by the periphery of the handrail frame 23. A handrail 21 is supported. A linear flat balustrade panel 24 is positioned on the step 18 side of the support column 22, and a stepped portion between the balustrade frame 23 and the balustrade panel 24 is inclined on the balustrade frame 23 side of the balustrade panel 24. An inclined plate 50 is installed. The inclined plate 50 is fixed to the balustrade panel 24 with bolts 29. On the other hand, an inner deck cover 26 that covers the lower part of the balustrade panel 24 and a skirt guard 27 that partitions the inner deck cover 26 and the step 18 are provided below the balustrade 20. An outer deck cover 25 is provided outside 23.
Further, the interval H1 between the balustrade panels 24 of the left and right balustrades 20 is larger than the interval H2 between the moving handrails 21. The inclined plate 50 installed between the balustrade panel 24 and the balustrade frame 23 is inclined so as to smoothly connect the steps between the balustrade frame 23 and the balustrade panel 24, so that the passenger's baggage hits the balustrade frame 23 and the like. Instead, as shown by the arrow C, it is configured so that the movement direction can be smoothly changed.
Thus, the balustrade panel 24 can be easily manufactured and can be improved in productivity by changing from a concave shape having a conventional inclined portion to a linear flat shape. Further, since the moving handrail 21, the handrail frame 23, the outer deck cover 25 and the inclined plate 50 are supported by the support column 22 arranged outside the balustrade panel 24, the passenger grips or shakes the moving handrail 21. Since the generated stress can be borne by the column 22, the burden on the balustrade panel 24 is almost eliminated, and it is not necessary to form the balustrade panel 24 thick. In addition, when the passenger's baggage comes into contact with the inclined plate 50 and the direction is changed, the stress acting on the inclined plate 50 can also be supported by the column 22, so that it is not necessary to share all the stress on the balustrade panel 24, There is no need to form the balustrade panel 24 thick.
