乗客コンベア 技術分野  Passenger conveyor technology
本発明は、 エス力レー夕一や電動道路等の乗客コンベアに係り、 特に、 狭域の場所に設置されるのに好適な乗客コンベアに関する。 背景技術  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a passenger conveyor such as an S-power train or an electric road, and more particularly to a passenger conveyor suitable for being installed in a narrow area. Background art
従来、 乗客コンベアの幅寸法を狭くするために、 踏段を駆動する駆動 軸周囲に電動機を設置して駆動軸を直接駆動する構成" （例えば特開昭 56 一 108683号公報） や、 踏段の往路の間において、 踏段駆動チェーンを直 接駆動する構成 （例えば特開昭 55— 401 85号公報） などが既に提案され ている。  Conventionally, in order to reduce the width of the passenger conveyor, a configuration in which an electric motor is installed around the drive shaft for driving the steps and the drive shaft is directly driven (for example, JP-A-56-108683), In the meantime, a configuration for directly driving a step drive chain (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-40185) has been proposed.
一方、 乗客の手荷物が欄干パネルにぶっかるのを避けるために、 左右 の移動手摺の間隔よりも左右の欄干パネルの間隔を広く して、見かけ上、 乗客コンペァを拡幅する技術も例えば、 特開 2001— 1 39273号公報等で提 案されて1いる。 On the other hand, in order to avoid the passenger's baggage from hitting the balustrade panel, a technique of increasing the space between the left and right balustrade panels than the space between the left and right handrails and apparently widening the passenger contest, for example, is disclosed in 2001- 1 in 39,273 No. Publication been proposed of 1.
上記従来の技術の前者は、 踏段や踏段チェーンを直接電動機で駆動す ることで、 動力伝達用の余分な駆動チェーンや駆動スプロケッ トを省略 できる分、 幅寸法を狭くできる利点がある。  The former of the above prior art has the advantage of being able to reduce the width dimension by directly driving a step or a step chain with an electric motor, so that an extra drive chain and a drive sprocket for power transmission can be omitted.
また、 従来の技術の後者は、 乗客の手荷物が欄干パネルにぶっかる機 会を少なくできる点で、余裕を持って乗客コンベアに乗ることができる。  In addition, the latter of the prior art is able to get on the passenger conveyor with plenty of margin in that it reduces the chance of the passenger's baggage hitting the balustrade panel.
しかし、 上記従来の技術の前者は、 さらなる幅寸法の低減が要求され' た場合についての配慮がなされておらず、 それ以上の幅方向の低減は事 実上困難であった。 さらに、 従来の技術の後者においては、 乗客コンベアの乗降部分で、 拡幅されている欄干パネル間隔よりも狭ぐなる移動手摺間隔との差分だ け急激な段差が形成されるので、 手荷物が移動手摺を案内する部材の裏 側などの段差部で衝突し、 乗客の転倒事故を誘発する問題がある。 発明の開示 However, in the former of the above-mentioned conventional techniques, no consideration is given to the case where further reduction in the width dimension is required, and further reduction in the width direction has been practically difficult. Furthermore, in the latter case of the prior art, a steep step is formed at the getting-on / off portion of the passenger conveyor, which is equal to the moving handrail interval narrower than the widened balustrade panel interval. There is a problem that a collision occurs at a stepped part such as the back side of a member that guides passengers, causing passengers to fall. Disclosure of the invention
本発明の目的は、 十分なる幅寸法の低減を行い得る乗客コンペァを提 供することにある。  An object of the present invention is to provide a passenger contest capable of sufficiently reducing the width dimension.
本発明の別の目的は、 幅寸法が低減されても乗客がゆとりを持って乗 ることができ、 かつ降りるときに手荷物等が移動手搢を案内する部材の 裏側に衝突することがない乗客コンベアを提供することにある。  Another object of the present invention is to provide a passenger who can comfortably ride even if the width dimension is reduced and that the baggage or the like does not collide with the back side of the member guiding the moving hand when getting off. To provide a conveyor.
本発明は上記目的を達成するために、 複数の踏板を連結する踏段チェ —ンを卷掛ける主スプロケッ トと同軸の駆動スプロケッ 卜の歯部と、 主 枠を構成する左右の側枠とを互いの鉛直投影が重なるように配置したの である。  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a main sprocket for winding a step chain connecting a plurality of treads and a tooth portion of a drive sprocket coaxial with a main sprocket and left and right side frames constituting a main frame. They were arranged so that the vertical projections overlap.
さらに、 踏段の移動方向の両側に立設された欄干の対向する内面間隔 を移動手摺の間隔よりも広く形成すると共に、 前記檷干の長手方向終端 部においては前記拡幅した内面間隔を徐々に前記移動手摺の間隔に接近 するように形成したのである。  Further, the interval between the facing inner surfaces of the balustrades erected on both sides in the moving direction of the steps is formed wider than the interval between the moving handrails, and at the longitudinal end portion of the balustrade, the widened inner surface interval is gradually decreased. It was formed so as to approach the distance between the moving handrails.
即ち、 駆動スプロケッ トの歯部と主枠の側枠とを互いの鉛直投影が重 なるように配置したことで、 駆動スプロケッ トの歯部と側枠との間に存 在していた隙間をなくすことができ、 その分、 前記側枠を駆動スプロケ ッ ト側に寄せることができ、 その結果、 主枠の幅寸法を低減できるので める。  In other words, by disposing the teeth of the drive sprocket and the side frames of the main frame so that their vertical projections overlap each other, the gap existing between the teeth of the drive sprocket and the side frames is reduced. Therefore, the side frame can be moved closer to the drive sprocket side, and as a result, the width of the main frame can be reduced.
また、 左右の欄干の内面間隔を移動手摺の間隔よりも広くしたことに より、 乗客の手荷物等が欄干に接触することがなくなるので、 乗客がゆ とりを持って乗ることができ、 さらに、 前記檷干の長手方向終端部にお いては前記拡幅した内面間隔を徐々に前記移動手摺の間隔に接近するよ うに形成したことにより、 乗客が降りるときに手荷物等が移動手摺を案 内する部材の裏側等に衝突することがなくなるのである。 図面の簡単な説明 ' In addition, the distance between the inner surfaces of the left and right balustrades was made wider than the distance between the moving handrails. Therefore, since the baggage of the passenger does not come into contact with the balustrade, the passenger can ride with ease, and at the longitudinal end portion of the balustrade, the width of the widened inner surface is gradually reduced. By forming the moving handrail close to the space, the baggage and the like do not collide with the back side of the member including the moving handrail when the passenger gets off.

It is formed so as to continue to the peripheral portion 29 via the inclined portion 32A at the end portion in the longitudinal direction of 12,000. Further, the recess is widened by a width Wa on one side of the center A of the moving handrail 21, and the width Wa is configured to contribute to the widening above the feet of the passenger. The concave portion is a linear concave portion formed by the peripheral portion 2.9, the base portion 30 and the inner surface portion 31. As shown by a two-dot chain line D in FIG. It may be formed to have a curved surface. It is desirable that the inclined portion 32A between the peripheral edge portion 29 and the inner surface portion 31 of the drying panel 24 has an inclined angle such that the extension of the inclined line does not intersect the handrail frame 23. In addition, the inclined portion 32B between the base portion 30 and the inner surface portion 31 has an inclined angle such that the extension of the inclined line does not intersect the inner deck cover 26. The inclination angle Θ 2 (FIG. 6) of the inclined portion 32 A at the longitudinal end of the balustrade 20 is formed in the recess of the panel 24 by forming the inclination angle Θ 2 (FIG. 6) larger than the angle. As shown by arrow E, the passenger's baggage can be guided smoothly. 'In this case, it is not essential that the extension line of the inclined section 32A does not intersect with the handrail frame 23.If there is no large step with the handrail frame 23, the inclined extension of the inclined section 32A is extended. There is no problem if the line intersects with step frame 23.
このほか、 前記欄干パネル 2 4の長手方向終端部の終端傾斜面となる 第 6図における傾斜部 3 2 Aには、 エス力レーター 1の起動スィッチゃ 停止スィツチ等の操作スィツチ 5 0が設けられ、 その裏側にはスィツチ 箱 5 1が取付けられている。 このように、 前記欄干パネル 2 4の長手方 向終端部の終端傾斜面に操作スィツチ 5 0を設けることにより、 操作位 置が従来よりも高くなるので、 目立ちやすく、 操作し易いと云う操作性 の機能向上効果を有する。  In addition, an operation switch 50 such as a start switch and a stop switch of the escalator 1 is provided on an inclined portion 32A in FIG. 6 which is a terminal inclined surface of a longitudinal end portion of the balustrade panel 24. On the back side, a switch box 51 is attached. Thus, by providing the operation switch 50 on the end inclined surface of the longitudinal end portion of the balustrade panel 24, the operation position becomes higher than before, so that the operability is conspicuous and easy to operate. Has the effect of improving the function.
ここで、 前記内面部 3 1が、' 請求項 1 に記載の欄干の移動手摺から離 れた面であり、 傾斜部 3 2 Aが、 移動手摺に接近する面となる。 さらに、 請求項 2に記載の移動手摺で囲まれた部位の欄干に設けられた凹部は、 内面部 3 1 と周縁部 2 9及び基部 3 0 とで形成される凹部である。また、 請求項 3 に記載の欄干パネルの間隔とは 左右の欄干パネル 2 4間の間 隔であり、 拡幅した欄千パネル間隔とは、 左右の内面部 3 1間の間隔 W i であり、 移動手摺の間隔とは、 左右の移動手摺 2 1間の間隔 W 2 で ある。 Here, the inner surface portion 31 is a surface separated from the moving handrail of the balustrade according to claim 1, and the inclined portion 32A is a surface approaching the moving handrail. Further, the concave portion provided on the balustrade at a portion surrounded by the moving handrail according to claim 2 is a concave portion formed by the inner surface portion 31, the peripheral edge portion 29, and the base portion 30. In addition, the spacing between the balustrade panels described in claim 3 is the spacing between the left and right balustrade panels 24 and the widened balustrade panel spacing is the spacing W i between the left and right inner surface parts 31, The distance between the moving handrails is the distance W2 between the left and right moving handrails 2 1 is there.
一方、 前記一対の主スプロケッ ト 1 3 を固定する駆動軸 1 5は、 一方 の主スプロケッ ト 1 3の反踏段側に駆動スプロケッ ト 3 3を固定してい る。 この駆動スプロケッ ト 3 3は、 軸受 1 6側に広がる皿状に形成され、 外周に形成された歯部は、 前記主枠 4の側枠 5 Aの幅 h内に臨ませて平 面から見て駆動スプロケッ ト 3 3の歯部と側枠 5 Aとが重なるように、 云い代えれば、 駆動スプロケッ ト 3 3の歯部と側枠 5 Aとは、 互いの鉛 直投影 重なるように、 配置されている。 このため、 駆動スプロケッ ト 3 3の歯部と前記軸受 1 6と前記主枠 4の側枠 5 Aの 3者も、 互いの鉛 直投影が、 互いに重なり、 前記側枠 5 Aの幅 h内に位置することになる。 前記駆動スプロケッ ト 3 3の歯部には動力伝達チェーン 3 4が巻.掛け られ、 この動力伝達チェーン 3 4は前記踏段 1 8の往復通路の外側であ る前記主枠 4の上部水平部 1 0内に設置された駆動機械装置 3 5のスプ ロケッ ト 3 6に卷掛けられている。 駆動機械装置 3 5は電動機 3 7 と減 速機 3 8 と制動機 3 9等からなるが、 減速機 3 9は必ずしも必要とする ものではない。  On the other hand, the drive shaft 15 for fixing the pair of main sprockets 13 has the drive sprocket 33 fixed to the other step side of the one main sprocket 13. The drive sprocket 33 is formed in a dish shape spreading toward the bearing 16, and the teeth formed on the outer periphery are viewed from a flat surface facing the width h of the side frame 5 A of the main frame 4. In this case, the teeth of the drive sprocket 33 and the side frame 5A are overlapped, in other words, the teeth of the drive sprocket 33 and the side frame 5A are arranged so as to overlap each other vertically. Have been. Therefore, the tooth projections of the drive sprocket 33, the bearing 16 and the side frame 5A of the main frame 4 also overlap each other in the vertical projection, and are within the width h of the side frame 5A. Will be located. A power transmission chain 34 is wound around the teeth of the drive sprocket 33, and the power transmission chain 34 is attached to the upper horizontal portion 1 of the main frame 4 outside the reciprocating passage of the step 18. It is wound around the bracket 36 of the drive mechanical device 35 installed in 0. The drive mechanical device 35 includes an electric motor 37, a speed reducer 38, a brake 39, and the like, but the speed reducer 39 is not always required.
さらに、 前記一対の主スプロケッ ト 1 3の反踏段側には、 夫々手摺駆 動スプロケッ ト 4 0が固定され、 この手摺駆動スプロケッ ト 4 0には第 4図に示すように、 手摺駆動チェーン 4 1が巻掛けられている。 手摺駆 動チェーン 4 1は、 転向ローラ 4 2を介して手摺駆動装置 4 3 (第 2図） を駆動するようにしている。 この手摺駆動装置 4 3は、 欄干 2 0の内側 において移動手摺 2 1の帰路側を周知の手段で駆動する、ようにしている, 上記のように構成したので、 本来なら駆動スプロケッ ト 3 3の歯部が 軸受 1 6と手摺駆動スプロケッ ト 4 0 との間に位置していたことにより 必要としていたスペースや、 主枠 4や欄干 2 0の設置バランスを考慮し て駆動スプロケッ ト 3 3が設けられていない側の主スプロケッ ト 1 3 と 軸受 1 6 との間にも必要としていた同等のスペースを不要とすることが でき、 その結果、 主枠 4の全幅を縮小することができ、 エスカレー夕一 1の設置幅寸法 W oを狭めることができる。 Further, a handrail drive sprocket 40 is fixed to the counter step side of the pair of main sprockets 13, respectively, and the handrail drive sprocket 40 has a handrail drive chain 4 as shown in FIG. One is wound. The handrail drive chain 41 drives a handrail drive device 43 (FIG. 2) via a turning roller 42. This handrail drive device 43 drives the return side of the moving handrail 21 inside the balustrade 20 by a known means. Since the above configuration is adopted, the drive sprocket 33 Considering the space required due to the teeth being located between the bearing 16 and the handrail drive sprocket 40, and the installation balance of the main frame 4 and balustrade 20 As a result, the same space that was required between the main sprocket 13 and the bearing 16 on the side where the drive sprocket 33 is not provided can be eliminated, and as a result, the entire width of the main frame 4 can be reduced. It is possible to reduce the installation width dimension Wo of Escalée 1.
また、 駆動機械装置 3 5は、 前記踏段 1 8の方向転換部における移動 軌跡より長手方向外側に設置されているので、 駆動軸 1 5周囲に駆動機 械装置を装着した構成に比べて、 .踏段によつて保守点検スペースを遮ら れるようなことがなく、 駆動機械装置 3 5の保守点検を容易に行うこと ができる。  In addition, since the driving mechanical device 35 is installed in the longitudinal direction outside the movement locus of the step 18 in the direction changing portion, the driving mechanical device 35 is compared with a configuration in which the driving mechanical device is mounted around the driving shaft 15. The maintenance step is not obstructed by the steps, and the maintenance of the drive mechanical device 35 can be easily performed.
上記構成の幅狭のエスカレーター 1 を建築物の狭域な場所、 例えば駅 舎の既設階段等に設置する場合、 通常、 第 1図に示すように、 階段 Sの 幅方向の一方側の壁 Wに寄せてエス力レー夕一 1を設置し、 エスカレ一 夕一 1の反壁 W側の欄干 2 0を階段 Sとエスカレーター 1 との仕切壁と している。 このように設置幅寸法 W oのエス力レ一夕一 1 を階段 Sに設 置した場合、 階段 Sの歩行者に利用される幅寸法は狭くなるが、 エス力 レーター 1の設置幅寸法 W 0は、 上述のように狭幅となっているので、 階段 Sの利用幅寸法の減幅を必要最小限にすることができる。  When the narrow escalator 1 having the above configuration is installed in a narrow area of a building, for example, on an existing staircase of a station building, as shown in Fig. 1, the wall W on one side in the width direction of the staircase S is usually used. A railroad railing 20 on the opposite side of W from the side of Escalée 1 has been set up as a partition wall between stairs S and escalator 1. In this way, when the installation width dimension W o is installed on the stairs S, the width used for pedestrians on the stairs S is reduced. Since “0” is narrow as described above, it is possible to minimize the required width of the stairs S to a minimum.
さらに、 本来なら前記周縁部 2 9及び基部 3 0の位置に垂直に配置さ れる欄干パネル 2 4をエスカレ一夕一 1の外側方向にへこませて凹部を 形成しているので、 乗客が手荷物を欄干パネル 2 4側に向けて乗ったと しても手荷物が檷干パネル 2 4に接触する機会が少なくなり、 乗客はゆ とりを持って乗ることができる。  Furthermore, since the balustrade panel 24, which is normally arranged at the position of the peripheral part 29 and the base part 30, is depressed outwardly of the Escalée 1 to form a recess, passengers can carry luggage. Even if the passenger is riding toward the balustrade panel 24, the chance of baggage contacting the balustrade panel 24 is reduced, and passengers can ride comfortably.
このほか、 檷干パネル 2 4の長手方向終端部において、 凹部に形成し た欄干パネル 2 4に傾斜部 3 2 Aを形成し、 その傾斜部 3 2 Aの傾斜延 長線上が手摺枠 2 3 と交差しない傾斜角度で傾斜させているので、 乗客 が手荷物を前記欄干パネル 2 4の凹部内に臨ませた状態で降り口側に到 達し、 その状態のまま降りようとしても、 手荷物は前記傾斜部 3 2 Aに 沿って踏段側に案内されるので、 手荷物が移動手摺 2 1を案内する部材 である手摺枠 2 3の裏側に衝突することはなくなり、 手荷物衝突による 転倒事故等をなくすことができる。 In addition, an inclined portion 32A is formed in the balustrade panel 24 formed in the recess at the longitudinal end of the drying panel 24, and the handrail frame 23 is formed on the inclined extension line of the inclined portion 32A. Because it is inclined at an inclination angle that does not intersect with the passenger Arrives at the exit with the baggage facing the recess of the balustrade panel 24, and even if the user tries to get down in that state, the baggage is guided to the step side along the inclined portion 32A. Therefore, the baggage does not collide with the back side of the handrail frame 23, which is a member for guiding the moving handrail 21, and it is possible to eliminate a fall accident due to the baggage collision.
第 7図は、 本発明による別の実施の形態を示すもので、 前記実施の形 態と大きく異なるのは、 欄干構成であり、 主枠構成や踏段や移動手摺の 駆動機構は前記実施の形態と同じである。  FIG. 7 shows another embodiment according to the present invention. What is greatly different from the above embodiment is the balustrade structure, and the main frame structure, the steps and the drive mechanism of the moving handrail are the same as those in the above embodiment. Is the same as
即ち、 この実施の形態による欄干 6 0は、 側枠 5 Aに固定具 6 2を介 して垂直に固定された欄干パネル 6 1 と、 欄干パネル 6 1の周縁に固定 具 6 3を介して固定され移動手摺 2 1 を案内する手摺枠 2 3 と、 欄干パ ネル 6 1の周縁の前記固定具 6 3に固定されこの固定具 6 3の下部を被 う被覆体 6 4と、 欄千パネル 6 1の基部と固定具 6 2側の上部とを被う 内デッキカバ一 6 5と、 内デッキカバ一 6 5 と踏段 1 8間を区画するス 力一トガード 2 7 と、 前記手摺枠 2 3 と檷干パネル 6 1 の周縁間に設置 される外デッキカバー 2 5 とで構成されている。  That is, the balustrade 60 according to this embodiment includes a balustrade panel 61 fixed vertically to the side frame 5A via the fixing tool 62, and a balustrade panel 63 at the periphery of the balustrade panel 61 via the fixing tool 63. A handrail frame 2 3 that is fixed and guides the moving handrail 2 1, a cover 6 4 that is fixed to the fixing tool 6 3 around the balustrade panel 6 1 and covers the lower part of the fixing tool 6 3, 6 An inner deck cover 65 covering the base of 1 and the upper part of the fixture 6 2 side, a force guard 27 separating the inner deck cover 65 and the steps 18 and the handrail frame 23 An outer deck cover 25 is installed between the peripheries of the drying panels 61.
上記欄干パネル 6 1は、 例えば強化ガラス板や強化合成樹脂板等で形 成され、 前記実施の形態の外装板 2 8 と同様な意匠品としての機能を有 するものである。 また、 被覆体 6 4は、 檷干パネル 6 1に対して傾斜し て設置され、 その傾斜は、 欄干の長手方向終端部において乗客の手荷物 が急激に方向変換されないように、 踏段移動区間に対向して設置された 被覆体 6 4の傾斜よりも緩い傾斜となっている。  The balustrade panel 61 is formed of, for example, a reinforced glass plate, a reinforced synthetic resin plate, or the like, and has a function as a design product similar to the exterior plate 28 of the embodiment. In addition, the covering 64 is installed at an angle to the balustrade panel 61, and the inclination is opposed to the step moving section so that the passenger's baggage is not suddenly changed in the longitudinal end of the balustrade. The slope is gentler than the slope of the covering 64 that is installed.
上記構成の欄干 6 0によれば、 前記実施の形態のような支柱 2 2， 檷 干パネル 2 4 , 外装板 2 8を一枚の欄干パネル 6 1で構成したので、 一 対の対向する欄干パネル 6 1の間隔 W 3を前記実施の形態による欄干パ ネル 2 4の間隔 W i よりも、 さらに拡幅することができる。 According to the balustrade 60 having the above-described configuration, since the columns 22, the balustrade panels 24, and the exterior panel 28 as in the above-described embodiment are constituted by one balustrade panel 61, a pair of facing balustrades is provided. The interval W3 of the panel 61 is set to the balustrade The width can be wider than the interval W i of the flannel 24.
このほか、 被覆体 6 4によって欄干パネル 6 1の上端 （周縁） と手搢 枠 2 3 との間に形成される空間 6 6を利用して欄干照明器具を内蔵する ことができ、 そのようにすれば照明付き欄干 6 0を提供することができ る。 さらに、 前記被覆体 6 4の欄干長手方向終端部には、 前記実施の形 態と同じように、 操作スィッチを設けてもよい。  In addition, a balustrade lighting device can be built in by using a space 66 formed between the upper end (peripheral edge) of the balustrade panel 61 and the hand frame 23 by the covering body 64. Then we can provide 60 illuminated balustrades. Further, an operation switch may be provided at the end of the balustrade in the longitudinal direction of the balustrade, similarly to the above embodiment.
上記構成の実施の形態によれは、 更なる欄干パネル 6 1の拡幅ができ ると共に、前記実施の形態と同じような作用効果を奏することができる。 ところで、 上記実施の形態は、 乗客コンベアとしてエスカレー夕一を 一例に説明したが、 踏板間に段差を生じさせない電動道路にも適用でき るのは勿論であり、 その場合には、 上記実施の形態の説明及び請求の範 囲に記載の踏段を踏板と読み替えることで対応できる。  According to the embodiment having the above-described configuration, the width of the balustrade panel 61 can be further increased, and the same operation and effect as in the above-described embodiment can be obtained. By the way, the above-described embodiment has been described by way of example of Escalei Yuichi as a passenger conveyor. However, it is needless to say that the present invention can also be applied to an electric road that does not generate a step between treads. This can be dealt with by reading the steps described in the description and claims as footboards.
以上説明したように本発明によれば、 十分なる幅寸法の低減ができる 乗客コンベアを得ることは勿論のこと、 幅寸法が低減されても乗客がゆ とりを持って乗ることができ、 かつ降りるときに手荷物等が移動手摺を 案内する部材に衝突することがない乗客コンベアを得ることができる。  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible not only to obtain a passenger conveyor capable of sufficiently reducing the width dimension, but also to allow the passenger to get on with ease even if the width dimension is reduced, and to get off. It is possible to obtain a passenger conveyor in which baggage or the like does not sometimes collide with a member for guiding the moving handrail.
