Description

潤滑剤塗布装置および乗客コンベアLubricant application device and passenger conveyor

　この発明は、踏段により乗客を搬送し、その踏段と同じ速度で移動する移動手摺に潤滑剤を塗布する潤滑剤塗布装置および乗客コンベアに関するものである。 The present invention relates to a lubricant application device and a passenger conveyor that conveys a passenger by a step and applies a lubricant to a moving handrail that moves at the same speed as the step.

　乗客コンベアでは、乗客を搬送する踏段と同じ速度で走行し、乗客が乗車時に把持することで姿勢を保ち安全性を確保するための移動手摺が設置されている。この移動手摺は、手摺ガイドと呼ばれる構造部に沿ってその経路を案内される構成となっている。そして、移動手摺の走行時には、移動手摺の内側の摺動面と手摺ガイドの手摺案内部とが摩擦摺動する。 The passenger conveyor runs at the same speed as the steps that carry the passenger, and a handrail is installed to ensure safety by holding the posture when the passenger grips when riding. This moving handrail is configured such that its route is guided along a structure called a handrail guide. When the moving handrail travels, the sliding surface inside the moving handrail and the handrail guide portion of the handrail guide frictionally slide.

　移動手摺の駆動力は、ローラや大径シーブによる摩擦駆動により得ているのが一般的である。そこで、移動手摺内側の摺動面と手摺ガイドの手摺案内部との摺動状態が悪化すると、移動手摺の走行抵抗が増大し、摩擦駆動における滑りが大きくなる。その結果、踏段の走行に対して移動手摺の走行が遅れ、安全性を損なうことになる。 The driving force of the moving handrail is generally obtained by friction driving with a roller or a large-diameter sheave. Therefore, when the sliding state between the sliding surface inside the moving handrail and the handrail guide portion of the handrail guide deteriorates, the running resistance of the moving handrail increases and the slip in the friction drive increases. As a result, the travel of the moving handrail is delayed with respect to the travel of the step, which impairs safety.

　そこで、従来、定期的な保守メンテナンス時に、例えばパラフィンといった潤滑剤を移動手摺の摺動面、あるいは手摺ガイドの手摺案内部の表面に塗布する作業を実施して、移動手摺の摺動面と手摺ガイドの手摺案内部との摺動性を改善していた。しかしながら、このような移動手摺の摺動面、あるいは手摺ガイドの手摺案内部の表面に潤滑剤を塗布する作業は、保守作業者の手作業によるものであり、作業負荷が増大してしまう。 Therefore, conventionally, during regular maintenance, for example, a lubricant such as paraffin is applied to the sliding surface of the moving handrail or the surface of the handrail guide portion of the handrail guide, so that the sliding surface of the moving handrail and the handrail The slidability of the guide with the handrail guide was improved. However, the operation of applying the lubricant to the sliding surface of the moving handrail or the surface of the handrail guide portion of the handrail guide is due to the manual operation of the maintenance worker, and the work load increases.

　このような状況を鑑み、従来の移動手摺ガイド装置では、移動手摺の内部に設置され、移動手摺の幅方向に移動可能に構成された潤滑剤塗布手段を備え、通常時は、潤滑剤塗布手段の潤滑剤形成部を移動手摺の内側端部から引っ込めた状態とし、塗布時に、潤滑剤形成部を移動手摺の内側端部に向かって突出した状態として、潤滑剤形成部を移動手摺の内側端部に当接させて、潤滑剤を移動手摺の内側端部に塗布していた（例えば、特許文献１参照）。 In view of such a situation, the conventional mobile handrail guide device includes a lubricant application unit that is installed inside the mobile handrail and is configured to be movable in the width direction of the mobile handrail. The lubricant forming portion of the moving handrail is retracted from the inner end of the moving handrail, and the lubricant forming portion is projected toward the inner end of the moving handrail at the time of application. The lubricant is applied to the inner end portion of the moving handrail in contact with the portion (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

　また、従来のエレベーターでは、昇降体に取り付けられてガイドレールを案内するガイド装置に備えられた固体潤滑剤塗布装置が、ガイドレールに向かって傾斜する斜面を有するガイド部材と、一端側にガイド部材の斜面に嵌合する斜面が形成された固体潤滑剤と、固体潤滑剤の他端側に設けられた支持体と、を有し、昇降体が上方に移動する際に、固体潤滑剤がガイドレールとの摩擦力によりガイドレールに押し付けられて、ガイドレールに塗布されていた（例えば、特許文献２参照）。 Further, in a conventional elevator, a solid lubricant applying device provided in a guide device that is attached to a lifting body and guides a guide rail includes a guide member having a slope inclined toward the guide rail, and a guide member on one end side And a support provided on the other end side of the solid lubricant, and the solid lubricant guides when the elevating body moves upward. It was pressed against the guide rail by frictional force with the rail and applied to the guide rail (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

　乗客コンベアの移動手摺は、乗車時に乗客が把持する際、乗客の掌と接する水平部の幅方向両側が円弧状に折り返された断面に形成されている。この両端の円弧状に折り返された内側面の円弧面とそこから幅方向内側への上延長面および下延長面が、走行中の手摺ガイドとの摺動面になる。そして、走行時には、上延長面および下延長面と手摺ガイドの手摺案内部とが接触する面積が大きくなるので、この部分の摺動性を向上することが、特に、移動手摺の走行抵抗の増大抑制に効果的である。 The moving handrail of the passenger conveyor is formed in a cross-section in which both sides in the width direction of the horizontal portion in contact with the passenger's palm are folded in an arc shape when the passenger grips when getting on. The arc surface of the inner surface that is folded back in an arc shape at both ends, and the upper extension surface and the lower extension surface that extend inward in the width direction from there are the sliding surfaces with the traveling handrail guide. When traveling, the area where the upper extension surface and the lower extension surface come into contact with the handrail guide portion of the handrail guide is increased, so that the slidability of this portion can be improved. It is effective for suppression.

　従来の移動手摺ガイド装置の潤滑剤塗布手段では、潤滑剤形成部が移動手摺の幅方向に移動して移動手摺の内側端部に押し付けられているので、初期的には、潤滑剤形成部が移動手摺の摺動面の全面に接して、潤滑剤を塗布することができる。この潤滑剤形成部は、移動手摺との摺動により摩耗する。そして、潤滑剤形成部は、移動手摺の幅方向に押圧されるので、潤滑剤形成部の摩耗が進行しても、摺動面の円弧面には、潤滑剤が継続的に塗布される。しかしながら、潤滑剤形成部が摩耗し、潤滑剤形成部と摺動面の上延長面および下延長面との間に隙間が形成されると、摺動面の上延長面および下延長面には、潤滑剤が塗布されなくなる。このように、従来の移動手摺ガイド装置の潤滑剤塗布手段では、潤滑剤形成部の摩耗が進行すると、移動手摺の摺動面の全面に潤滑剤を塗布できなくなり、移動手摺の走行抵抗が増大するという課題があった。 In the lubricant application means of the conventional moving handrail guide device, the lubricant forming portion moves in the width direction of the moving handrail and is pressed against the inner end portion of the moving handrail. The lubricant can be applied in contact with the entire sliding surface of the moving handrail. This lubricant forming part is worn by sliding with the moving handrail. And since a lubricant formation part is pressed in the width direction of a moving handrail, even if abrasion of a lubricant formation part advances, a lubricant is continuously apply | coated to the circular arc surface of a sliding surface. However, if the lubricant forming portion wears and a gap is formed between the lubricant forming portion and the upper and lower extended surfaces of the sliding surface, the upper and lower extended surfaces of the sliding surface The lubricant is not applied. As described above, in the lubricant applying means of the conventional moving handrail guide device, when the wear of the lubricant forming portion proceeds, the lubricant cannot be applied to the entire sliding surface of the moving handrail, and the running resistance of the moving handrail increases. There was a problem to do.

　また、従来の移動手摺ガイド装置の潤滑剤塗布手段では、潤滑剤形成部を移動手摺の幅方向に往復移動させる駆動機構が必要となり、装置の高コスト化をもたらすという課題もあった。 In addition, the lubricant application means of the conventional moving handrail guide device requires a drive mechanism for reciprocating the lubricant forming portion in the width direction of the moving handrail, resulting in an increase in cost of the device.

　従来のエレベーターのガイド装置に備えられた固体潤滑剤塗布装置では、移動体が摺動するガイドレールの外側面にのみ個体潤滑剤を塗布するように構成されている。そこで、従来のエレベーターのガイド装置に備えられた固体潤滑剤塗布装置を、移動手摺の幅方向の両端部における折り返し部の内側円弧面の両端から幅方向の内方に延びる上延長面および下延長面に潤滑剤を塗布する装置に適用することは、構造上、困難であった。 The solid lubricant application device provided in the conventional elevator guide device is configured to apply the solid lubricant only to the outer surface of the guide rail on which the moving body slides. Accordingly, the solid lubricant application device provided in the conventional elevator guide device is divided into an upper extension surface and a lower extension extending inward in the width direction from both ends of the inner arc surface of the folded portion at both ends in the width direction of the moving handrail. It was difficult to apply to a device for applying a lubricant to a surface because of its structure.

　この発明は、上記課題を解決するためになされたもので、簡易な構成で、移動手摺の折り返し部の内側にある摺動面の中の円弧面から幅方向内側に延びる上延長面および下延長面に潤滑剤を潤滑剤の摩耗が進行しても塗布できる潤滑剤塗布装置および乗客コンベアを得ることを目的とする。 The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and has a simple configuration and an upper extension surface and a lower extension extending inward in the width direction from an arc surface in a sliding surface inside a folded portion of a movable handrail. An object of the present invention is to obtain a lubricant application device and a passenger conveyor that can apply a lubricant to the surface even when the wear of the lubricant proceeds.

　この発明に係る潤滑剤塗布装置は、幅方向両側に突出する一対の手摺案内部を有し、開口部が一対の上記手摺案内部のそれぞれに上下方向に貫通するように形成された手摺ガイドに装着される潤滑剤塗布装置であり、上記手摺案内部に固定されて、上記開口部から上方に突出するように配置され、上面を第１潤滑剤塗布面とし、下面を上記第１潤滑剤塗布面との間の厚みが上記手摺ガイドの長さ方向の一方の方向に向かって一定の割合で増加する第１傾斜面とする第１潤滑部材と、上面を上記第１傾斜面に接して摺動可能に上記第１潤滑部材に重ねられ、上記手摺ガイドの幅方向の移動を規制され、上記開口部から下方に突出するように配置され、下面を第２潤滑剤塗布面とし、該上面を上記第２潤滑剤塗布面との間の厚みが上記手摺ガイドの長さ方向の一方の方向に向かって上記一定の割合で減少する第２傾斜面とする第２潤滑部材と、を備える。 The lubricant application device according to the present invention includes a pair of handrail guide portions projecting on both sides in the width direction, and a handrail guide formed so that an opening penetrates each of the pair of handrail guide portions in the vertical direction. A lubricant application device to be mounted, which is fixed to the handrail guide portion and arranged so as to protrude upward from the opening, and has an upper surface as a first lubricant application surface and a lower surface as the first lubricant application. A first lubricating member as a first inclined surface whose thickness increases with a constant rate toward one direction in the length direction of the handrail guide, and the upper surface is slid in contact with the first inclined surface. It is movably superimposed on the first lubricating member, the movement of the handrail guide in the width direction is restricted, and is arranged so as to protrude downward from the opening, the lower surface is the second lubricant application surface, and the upper surface is The thickness between the second lubricant application surface and the handrail guide Of toward one direction in the longitudinal direction and a second lubricating member and the second inclined surface decreases at the rate of the constant.

　この発明によれば、第１潤滑部材と第２潤滑部材とが、第１傾斜面と第２傾斜面とを接して重ねられて、手摺ガイドの手摺案内部に形成された開口部から上下に突出するように配置されている。そこで、移動手摺が手摺ガイドに装着された際には、第１潤滑部材と第２潤滑部材との積層体が移動手摺の上延長面と下延長面との間に配置される。このとき、潤滑剤塗布装置は、第１潤滑剤塗布面と第１傾斜面との間の厚みが移動手摺の走行方向と同じ方向に向かって一定の割合で増加するように手摺ガイドに装着される。そして、第１潤滑部材が開口部から上方に突出しているので、上延長面および下延長面の一方が自重により第１潤滑部材の第１潤滑剤塗布面に当接する。そこで、移動手摺の走行時に、潤滑剤が上延長面および下延長面の一方に塗布される。 According to this invention, the first lubrication member and the second lubrication member are overlapped in contact with the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface, and vertically from the opening formed in the handrail guide portion of the handrail guide. It is arranged to protrude. Therefore, when the moving handrail is mounted on the handrail guide, the laminated body of the first lubricating member and the second lubricating member is disposed between the upper extension surface and the lower extension surface of the moving handrail. At this time, the lubricant application device is attached to the handrail guide so that the thickness between the first lubricant application surface and the first inclined surface increases at a constant rate in the same direction as the traveling direction of the moving handrail. The Since the first lubricant member protrudes upward from the opening, one of the upper extension surface and the lower extension surface comes into contact with the first lubricant application surface of the first lubricant member by its own weight. Therefore, the lubricant is applied to one of the upper extension surface and the lower extension surface during traveling of the moving handrail.

　また、第１潤滑部材の第１潤滑剤塗布面と第１傾斜面との間の厚みが、移動手摺の走行方向と同じ方向に向かって一定の割合で増加している。第２潤滑部材の第２潤滑剤塗布面と第２傾斜面との間の厚みが、移動手摺の走行方向と同じ方向に向かって一定の割合で減少している。これにより、移動手摺の走行時には、第２潤滑部材がクサビ効果により第１潤滑部材と上延長面および下延長面の他方との間に食い込み、第２潤滑部材の第２潤滑剤塗布面が上延長面および下延長面の他方に押圧される。そこで、潤滑剤が上延長面および下延長面の他方に塗布される。 Also, the thickness between the first lubricant application surface of the first lubricant member and the first inclined surface increases at a constant rate in the same direction as the traveling direction of the moving handrail. The thickness between the second lubricant application surface and the second inclined surface of the second lubricating member decreases at a constant rate in the same direction as the traveling direction of the moving handrail. As a result, during traveling of the handrail, the second lubricating member bites between the first lubricating member and the other of the upper extended surface and the lower extended surface due to the wedge effect, and the second lubricant application surface of the second lubricating member is raised. It is pressed against the other of the extended surface and the lower extended surface. Therefore, the lubricant is applied to the other of the upper extension surface and the lower extension surface.

　このように、本発明によれば、潤滑部材を移動手摺の摺動面に押圧する駆動機構を用いることなく、安価な構成で、移動手摺の走行時に、上延長面および下延長面に同時に潤滑剤を塗布することができる。また、塗布による潤滑剤の摩耗が進行しても同様の効果が継続される。 Thus, according to the present invention, the upper extension surface and the lower extension surface are lubricated simultaneously at the time of traveling of the moving handrail with an inexpensive configuration without using a drive mechanism that presses the lubricating member against the sliding surface of the moving handrail. An agent can be applied. In addition, the same effect is continued even when the wear of the lubricant by the application proceeds.

　乗客コンベアとしてのエスカレータにおける移動手摺１の搬送路は、図１に示されるように、乗客が把持する往路部と、エスカレータの機器内を走行する帰路部と、往路部と帰路部とを連結する上部反転部および下部反転部と、からなる。帰路部は、傾斜経路と、傾斜経路の上部に配置された上部曲部経路と、上部曲部経路から上部反転部に至る上部水平経路と、傾斜経路の下部に配置された下部曲部経路と、下部曲部経路から下部反転部に至る下部水平経路と、により構成される。同様に、帰路部も、傾斜経路と、傾斜経路の上部に配置された上部曲部経路と、上部曲部経路から上部反転部に至る上部水平経路と、傾斜経路の下部に配置された下部曲部経路と、下部曲部経路から下部反転部に至る下部水平経路と、により構成される。 As shown in FIG. 1, the transport path of the moving handrail 1 in the escalator as a passenger conveyor connects the forward path gripped by the passenger, the return path traveling in the escalator device, and the forward path and the return path. The upper inversion part and the lower inversion part. The return path includes an inclined path, an upper curved path disposed above the inclined path, an upper horizontal path extending from the upper curved path to the upper inversion section, and a lower curved path disposed below the inclined path. The lower horizontal path from the lower curved path to the lower inversion section. Similarly, the return path section also includes an inclined path, an upper curved path disposed above the inclined path, an upper horizontal path extending from the upper curved path to the upper inversion section, and a lower curved path disposed at the lower portion of the inclined path. And a lower horizontal path that extends from the lower curved path to the lower inversion section.

　移動手摺１は、図２に示されるように、乗車時に乗客が把持する際、乗客の掌と接する水平部の幅方向両側が円弧状に折り返された、概略楕円形の１辺を開口する断面形状を有し、無端状に作製された樹脂成形部２と、樹脂成形部２の内部に埋設されて移動手摺１の張力強度を確保するための金属材料３と、樹脂成形部２の内周壁面を覆う帆布４と、を備える。ここで、移動手摺１の手摺ガイド９の手摺案内部９ｃに対する摺動面は、移動手摺１の内周面の幅方向の両端部における折り返し部の円弧面５と、その円弧面５の両端から移動手摺１の幅方向の内方に延びる上延長面６および下延長面７と、を備える。なお、摺動面としての上延長面６は、円弧面５の上端から移動手摺１の幅方向の内方に延びる内周面の中の下延長面７と相対する領域となる。 As shown in FIG. 2, the moving handrail 1 is a cross-section that opens one side of a substantially elliptical shape in which both sides in the width direction of the horizontal portion in contact with the palm of the passenger are folded in an arc shape when the passenger grips when getting on. A resin molded part 2 having a shape and made endless, a metal material 3 embedded in the resin molded part 2 to ensure the tensile strength of the moving handrail 1, and an inner periphery of the resin molded part 2 And a canvas 4 covering the wall surface. Here, the sliding surface of the handrail guide 1 with respect to the handrail guide portion 9c is from the arc surface 5 of the folded portion at both ends in the width direction of the inner peripheral surface of the handrail 1 and from both ends of the arc surface 5. An upper extension surface 6 and a lower extension surface 7 extending inward in the width direction of the moving handrail 1 are provided. The upper extension surface 6 as a sliding surface is a region facing the lower extension surface 7 in the inner peripheral surface extending inward in the width direction of the moving handrail 1 from the upper end of the arc surface 5.

　手摺ガイド９は、図３に示されるように、細長い矩形平板状の部材を幅方向に屈曲して作製される。手摺ガイド９の内側には、断面が四角形の空間（以下、内部空間９ａとする）が形成される。また、手摺ガイド９は、中央部の下面に、内部空間９ａを外部に連通する開口９ｂが形成されている。さらに、手摺ガイド９は、内部空間９ａの上部の幅方向両側から外側に突出する一対の手摺案内部９ｃが形成されている。このように形成された手摺ガイド９は、移動手摺１の搬送路に沿って設置される。そして、移動手摺１が、幅方向の両端部の折り返し部内に手摺案内部９ｃを納めるように手摺ガイド９に装着される。 As shown in FIG. 3, the handrail guide 9 is produced by bending an elongated rectangular flat plate member in the width direction. A space having a rectangular cross section (hereinafter referred to as an internal space 9a) is formed inside the handrail guide 9. In addition, the handrail guide 9 is formed with an opening 9b that communicates the internal space 9a with the outside on the lower surface of the center portion. Further, the handrail guide 9 is formed with a pair of handrail guide portions 9c protruding outward from both sides in the width direction of the upper portion of the internal space 9a. The handrail guide 9 formed in this way is installed along the conveyance path of the moving handrail 1. Then, the movable handrail 1 is mounted on the handrail guide 9 so that the handrail guide portion 9c is placed in the folded portion at both ends in the width direction.

　ここで、移動手摺１の摺動面と手摺ガイド９の手摺案内部９ｃとの摺動状態は、移動手摺１の搬送路の各経路によって異なる。まず、往路部の傾斜経路、上部水平経路、および下部水平経路では、図４Ａに示されるように、自重により、移動手摺１の乗客把持面の裏面側が手摺ガイド９と接触する。また、往路部の下部曲部経路およびその近傍では、図４Ａに示されるように、移動手摺１の曲げ時に移動手摺１に作用する張力により、移動手摺１の乗客把持面の裏面側が手摺ガイド９と接触する。また、往路部の上部曲部経路およびその近傍では、図４Ｂに示されるように、移動手摺１の曲げ時に移動手摺１に作用する張力により、移動手摺１の幅方向両端部の折り返し部の先端部の内面が手摺ガイド９と接触する。 Here, the sliding state between the sliding surface of the moving handrail 1 and the handrail guide portion 9c of the handrail guide 9 varies depending on each path of the transport path of the moving handrail 1. First, in the inclined path, the upper horizontal path, and the lower horizontal path in the forward path portion, as shown in FIG. 4A, the back surface side of the passenger gripping surface of the moving handrail 1 comes into contact with the handrail guide 9 by its own weight. Further, in the lower curved path of the forward path portion and the vicinity thereof, as shown in FIG. 4A, the back surface side of the passenger gripping surface of the moving handrail 1 is caused by the tension acting on the moving handrail 1 when the moving handrail 1 is bent. Contact with. Further, in the upper curved path of the forward path portion and the vicinity thereof, as shown in FIG. 4B, the tip of the folded portion at both ends in the width direction of the movable handrail 1 due to the tension acting on the movable handrail 1 when the movable handrail 1 is bent. The inner surface of the part contacts the handrail guide 9.

　また、帰路部においては、傾斜経路、上部水平経路、および下部水平経路では、図４Ｄに示されるように、自重により、移動手摺１の幅方向両端部の折り返し部の先端部の内面が手摺ガイド９と接触する。また、帰路部の下部曲部経路およびその近傍では、図４Ｄに示されるように、移動手摺１の曲げ時に移動手摺１に作用する張力により、移動手摺１の幅方向両端部の折り返し部の先端部の内面が手摺ガイド９と接触する。また、帰路部の上部曲部経路およびその近傍では、図４Ｃに示されるように、移動手摺１の曲げ時に移動手摺１に作用する張力により、移動手摺１の乗客把持面の裏面側が手摺ガイド９と接触する。 Further, in the return path portion, in the inclined path, the upper horizontal path, and the lower horizontal path, as shown in FIG. 4D, the inner surface of the front end portion of the folded portion at both ends in the width direction of the moving handrail 1 is guided by the handrail guide. 9 is contacted. Further, in the lower curved path of the return path portion and the vicinity thereof, as shown in FIG. 4D, the tip of the folded portion at both ends in the width direction of the movable handrail 1 due to the tension acting on the movable handrail 1 when the movable handrail 1 is bent. The inner surface of the part contacts the handrail guide 9. Further, in the upper curved path of the return path and its vicinity, as shown in FIG. 4C, the back side of the passenger gripping surface of the moving handrail 1 is caused by the tension applied to the moving handrail 1 when the moving handrail 1 is bent. Contact with.

　なお、上部反転部および下部反転部では、乗客の数やエスカレータの上下階の高低差によって変化する移動手摺１に作用する張力により、移動手摺１の摺動面のいずれが手摺ガイド９に接するか特定できない。 In the upper reversing unit and the lower reversing unit, which of the sliding surfaces of the moving handrail 1 contacts the handrail guide 9 due to the tension acting on the moving handrail 1 that changes depending on the number of passengers and the height difference between the upper and lower floors of the escalator. It can not be identified.

　このように、移動手摺１の走行時には、移動手摺１の摺動面の中の上延長面６および下延長面７が手摺案内部９ｃに対して摺動することがわかる。つまり、塗布剤によって移動手摺１の摺動抵抗を下げるためには、移動手摺１の摺動面の中の上延長面６および下延長面７の摺動性を向上させる必要があり、上延長面６および下延長面７の一方の面にだけ塗布剤を塗布することでは、十分な効果が得られないことがわかる。 Thus, it can be seen that when the moving handrail 1 travels, the upper extension surface 6 and the lower extension surface 7 in the sliding surface of the moving handrail 1 slide relative to the handrail guide portion 9c. That is, in order to reduce the sliding resistance of the moving handrail 1 with the coating agent, it is necessary to improve the slidability of the upper extension surface 6 and the lower extension surface 7 in the sliding surface of the moving handrail 1. It can be seen that a sufficient effect cannot be obtained by applying the coating agent to only one of the surface 6 and the lower extended surface 7.

A pair of flange portions 11d. Note that the upper surface of the lubricant application portion 11 a is the upper surface of the first lubricating member 11, and the protruding end surface of the guide protrusion 11 b is the lower surface of the first lubricating member 11.

　ここでは、第１潤滑部材１１は、パラフィンなどの固定潤滑剤で一体に作製されている。なお、第１潤滑部材１１の全体をパラフィンなどの固定潤滑剤で作製する必要はなく、少なくとも、潤滑剤塗布部１１ａの第１潤滑剤塗布面側の部分がパラフィンなどの固定潤滑剤で作製されていればよい。 Here, the first lubricating member 11 is integrally made of a fixed lubricant such as paraffin. The entire first lubricant member 11 does not need to be made of a fixed lubricant such as paraffin, and at least the first lubricant application surface side portion of the lubricant application portion 11a is made of a fixed lubricant such as paraffin. It only has to be.

　第２潤滑部材１２は、潤滑剤塗布部１１ａより短い直方体に作製され、下面を第２潤滑剤塗布面とする潤滑剤塗布部１２ａと、溝方向を潤滑剤塗布部１２ａの長さ方向として、潤滑剤塗布部１２ａの上面に形成され、溝底面を、溝深さが潤滑剤塗布部１２ａの長さ方向の一方の方向に向かって漸次深くなる第２傾斜面とするガイド溝１２ｂと、を備える。ここでは、第２潤滑部材１２は、パラフィンなどの固定潤滑剤で一体に作製されている。なお、潤滑剤塗布部１２ａの下面が第２潤滑部材１２の下面となり、ガイド溝１２ｂの溝底面が第２潤滑部材１２の上面となる。 The second lubrication member 12 is produced in a rectangular parallelepiped shorter than the lubricant application part 11a, the lubricant application part 12a having the lower surface as the second lubricant application surface, and the groove direction as the length direction of the lubricant application part 12a, A guide groove 12b formed on the upper surface of the lubricant application portion 12a and having a groove bottom surface as a second inclined surface in which the groove depth gradually becomes deeper in one direction of the length direction of the lubricant application portion 12a. Prepare. Here, the second lubricating member 12 is integrally made of a fixed lubricant such as paraffin. The lower surface of the lubricant application part 12 a is the lower surface of the second lubricating member 12, and the groove bottom surface of the guide groove 12 b is the upper surface of the second lubricating member 12.

　ここで、第２潤滑部材１２の全体をパラフィンなどの固定潤滑剤で作製する必要はなく、少なくとも、潤滑剤塗布部１２ａの第２潤滑剤塗布面側の部分がパラフィンなどの固定潤滑剤で作製されていればよい。 Here, it is not necessary to produce the entire second lubricant member 12 with a fixed lubricant such as paraffin, and at least a portion on the second lubricant application surface side of the lubricant application part 12a is prepared with a fixed lubricant such as paraffin. It only has to be done.

　第１潤滑部材１１は、図７および図８に示されるように、潤滑剤塗布部１１ａの長さ方向の一方の方向を移動手摺１の走行方向と同じ方向として、手摺ガイド９の手摺案内部９ｃに形成された開口部９ｄの長さ方向の両縁部に、一対のフランジ部１１ｄを固着して、設置される。このとき、潤滑剤塗布部１１ａの第１潤滑剤塗布面が手摺案内部９ｃから移動手摺１の水平部の裏面側に突出する。そして、第２潤滑部材１２は、ガイド溝１２ｂ内にガイド突起１１ｂを納めて、第１潤滑部材１１の下面側に重ねられて、潤滑剤塗布装置１０が手摺ガイド９に装着される。 As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the first lubrication member 11 has one direction in the length direction of the lubricant application portion 11 a as the same direction as the traveling direction of the moving handrail 1, and the handrail guide portion of the handrail guide 9. A pair of flange portions 11d are fixedly installed on both edges in the length direction of the opening 9d formed in 9c. At this time, the 1st lubricant application surface of the lubricant application part 11a protrudes from the handrail guide part 9c to the back side of the horizontal part of the moving handrail 1. Then, the second lubricating member 12 has the guide protrusion 11b in the guide groove 12b and is superimposed on the lower surface side of the first lubricating member 11, and the lubricant applying device 10 is mounted on the handrail guide 9.

　このように構成された潤滑剤塗布装置１０では、ガイド溝１２ｂとガイド突起１１ｂとが嵌合され、第２潤滑部材１２が、手摺ガイド９の幅方向の移動が規制され、ガイド突起１１ｂに案内されて、手摺ガイド９の長さ方向に往復移動可能となっている。そして、潤滑剤塗布部１１ａの第１潤滑剤塗布面と潤滑剤塗布部１２ａの第２潤滑剤塗布面は、移動手摺の搬送路の中心を通る鉛直面と略直交する、互いに平行な平面となっている。第１潤滑部材１１における第１潤滑剤塗布面と第１傾斜面との間の厚さが、手摺ガイド９の長さ方向の移動手摺１の走行方向と同じ方向に向かって一定の割合で増加している。第２潤滑部材１２における第２潤滑剤塗布面と第２傾斜面との間の厚さが、手摺ガイド９の長さ方向の移動手摺１の走行方向と同じ方向に向かって一定の割合で減少している。移動手摺１の下延長面７が、自重により、第１潤滑部材１１の潤滑剤塗布部１１ａの第１潤滑剤塗布面に当接している。また、第２潤滑部材１２の潤滑剤塗布部１２ａの第２潤滑剤塗布面が、自重により、移動手摺１の上延長面６に当接している。 In the lubricant applying device 10 configured as described above, the guide groove 12b and the guide protrusion 11b are fitted, and the second lubricant member 12 is restricted from moving in the width direction of the handrail guide 9, and is guided to the guide protrusion 11b. Thus, the handrail guide 9 can be reciprocated in the length direction. The first lubricant application surface of the lubricant application part 11a and the second lubricant application surface of the lubricant application part 12a are parallel planes that are substantially orthogonal to the vertical plane passing through the center of the transport path of the moving handrail. It has become. The thickness of the first lubricant member 11 between the first lubricant application surface and the first inclined surface increases at a constant rate in the same direction as the traveling direction of the moving handrail 1 in the length direction of the handrail guide 9. is doing. The thickness of the second lubricant member 12 between the second lubricant application surface and the second inclined surface decreases at a constant rate in the same direction as the traveling direction of the moving handrail 1 in the length direction of the handrail guide 9. is doing. The lower extension surface 7 of the moving handrail 1 is in contact with the first lubricant application surface of the lubricant application part 11a of the first lubricant member 11 by its own weight. Further, the second lubricant application surface of the lubricant application part 12a of the second lubricant member 12 is in contact with the upper extension surface 6 of the movable handrail 1 by its own weight.

　ここで、移動手摺１が図８中で左方向（走行方向）に移動すると、移動手摺１の下延長面７は、移動手摺１の自重により、潤滑剤塗布部１１ａの第１潤滑剤塗布面に押圧されつつ摺動し、潤滑剤が塗布される。第２潤滑部材１２は、移動手摺１の上延長面６との間に発生する摩擦力により、移動手摺１とともに移動し、ガイド溝１２ｂの溝底面である第２傾斜面が、図９に示されるように、ガイド突起１１ｂの突出端面である第１傾斜面に当接する。そして、第２潤滑部材１２は、上延長面６との間に発生する摩擦力により、ガイド突起１１ｂの第２傾斜面上を摺動移動する。これにより、クサビ効果により、第２潤滑部材１２を上延長面６に押圧する押圧力が発生する。そこで、移動手摺１の上延長面６は、当該押圧力を受けた状態で、第２潤滑部材１２の潤滑剤塗布部１２ａの第２潤滑剤塗布面上を摺動し、潤滑剤が塗布される。 Here, when the moving handrail 1 moves in the left direction (traveling direction) in FIG. 8, the lower extension surface 7 of the moving handrail 1 is caused by the weight of the moving handrail 1, so that the first lubricant application surface of the lubricant application portion 11 a. The lubricant is applied by sliding while being pressed. The second lubricating member 12 moves together with the moving handrail 1 by the frictional force generated between the upper extending surface 6 of the moving handrail 1 and the second inclined surface which is the groove bottom surface of the guide groove 12b is shown in FIG. As a result, it contacts the first inclined surface which is the protruding end surface of the guide protrusion 11b. Then, the second lubricating member 12 slides on the second inclined surface of the guide protrusion 11b by the frictional force generated between the second lubricating member 12 and the upper extended surface 6. As a result, a pressing force that presses the second lubricating member 12 against the upper extension surface 6 is generated due to the wedge effect. Therefore, the upper extension surface 6 of the moving handrail 1 slides on the second lubricant application surface of the lubricant application portion 12a of the second lubricant member 12 in a state where the pressing force is received, and the lubricant is applied. The

　潤滑剤塗布部１１ａ，１２ａは、潤滑剤の塗布により、摩耗し、厚みが薄くなる。そして、第１潤滑部材１１の第１潤滑剤塗布面と第２潤滑部材１２の第２潤滑剤塗布面との間の厚みが、上延長面６と下延長面７との間の間隔以下となるまで、上延長面６および下延長面７への潤滑剤の塗布が同時に行われる。

Lubricant application portions

11a and 12a are worn and thinned by application of the lubricant. The thickness between the first lubricant application surface of the first lubricant member 11 and the second lubricant application surface of the second lubricant member 12 is equal to or less than the interval between the upper extension surface 6 and the lower extension surface 7. Until then, the lubricant is applied to the upper extension surface 6 and the lower extension surface 7 simultaneously.

　ここで、第１潤滑部材１１の第１潤滑剤塗布面と第２潤滑部材１２の第２潤滑剤塗布面との間の厚みが、上延長面６と下延長面７との間の間隔以下となると、第２潤滑部材１２の潤滑剤塗布部１２ａが自重にのみより上延長面６に押圧される。そこで、摩耗により潤滑剤塗布部１２ａの厚みが徐々に薄くなり、第２潤滑部材１２が図９中左方向に移動し、ついには、移動手摺１の走行方向の前方に位置するストッパ部１１ｃに当接する。これにより、移動手摺１の走行方向の前方への第２潤滑部材１２の逸脱が阻止される。 Here, the thickness between the first lubricant application surface of the first lubricant member 11 and the second lubricant application surface of the second lubricant member 12 is equal to or less than the distance between the upper extension surface 6 and the lower extension surface 7. Then, the lubricant application part 12a of the second lubricating member 12 is pressed against the upper extension surface 6 only by its own weight. Therefore, the thickness of the lubricant application portion 12a gradually decreases due to wear, and the second lubricating member 12 moves to the left in FIG. 9, and finally the stopper portion 11c positioned in front of the traveling direction of the moving handrail 1 Abut. Thereby, the deviation | shift of the 2nd lubricating member 12 to the front of the traveling direction of the moving handrail 1 is prevented.

　また、保守点検時などで、移動手摺１が図９中右方向に移動すると、第２潤滑部材１２は、移動手摺１との間の摩擦力により、移動手摺１の進行方向に移動し、ついには、移動手摺１の進行方向の前方に位置するストッパ部１１ｃに当接する。そこで、ガイド溝１２ｂとガイド突起１１ｂとの嵌合状態の解除が阻止されるとともに、移動手摺１の進行方向の前方への第２潤滑部材１２の逸脱が阻止される。 Further, when the moving handrail 1 moves to the right in FIG. 9 during maintenance inspection, the second lubricating member 12 moves in the traveling direction of the moving handrail 1 due to the frictional force with the moving handrail 1, and finally Is in contact with the stopper portion 11c located in front of the moving handrail 1 in the traveling direction. Therefore, release of the fitted state between the guide groove 12b and the guide protrusion 11b is prevented, and deviation of the second lubricating member 12 forward in the traveling direction of the moving handrail 1 is prevented.

　この実施の形態１では、第１潤滑部材１１と第２潤滑部材１２とが、第１傾斜面と第２傾斜面とを接して重ねられて、手摺ガイド９の手摺案内部９ｃに形成された開口部９ｄから上下に突出するように配置されている。そこで、移動手摺１が手摺ガイド９に装着された際には、第１潤滑部材１１と第２潤滑部材１２との積層体が移動手摺１の上延長面６および下延長面７間に配置される。そして、第１潤滑部材１１が開口部９ｄから上方に突出しているので、下延長面７が自重により第１潤滑部材１１の第１潤滑剤塗布面に当接する。そこで、移動手摺１の走行時に、潤滑剤が下延長面７に塗布される。 In the first embodiment, the first lubrication member 11 and the second lubrication member 12 are formed on the handrail guide portion 9c of the handrail guide 9 by overlapping the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface. It arrange | positions so that it may protrude from the opening part 9d up and down. Therefore, when the moving handrail 1 is mounted on the handrail guide 9, the laminated body of the first lubricating member 11 and the second lubricating member 12 is disposed between the upper extension surface 6 and the lower extension surface 7 of the moving handrail 1. The And since the 1st lubricating member 11 protrudes upwards from the opening part 9d, the lower extension surface 7 contact | abuts to the 1st lubricant application surface of the 1st lubricating member 11 with dead weight. Therefore, the lubricant is applied to the lower extension surface 7 when the moving handrail 1 travels.

　また、第１潤滑部材１１の第１潤滑剤塗布面と第１傾斜面との間の厚みが、手摺ガイド９の長さ方向の移動手摺１の走行方向と同じ方向に向かって一定の割合で増加している。第２潤滑部材１２の第２潤滑剤塗布面と第２傾斜面との間の厚みが、手摺ガイド９の長さ方向の移動手摺１の走行方向と同じ方向に向かって一定の割合で減少している。これにより、移動手摺１の走行時には、第２潤滑部材１２がクサビ効果により第１潤滑部材１１と上延長面６との間に食い込み、第２潤滑部材１２の第２潤滑剤塗布面が上延長面６に押圧される。そこで、潤滑剤が上延長面６に塗布される。 Further, the thickness between the first lubricant application surface of the first lubricant member 11 and the first inclined surface is constant at a constant rate in the same direction as the traveling direction of the moving handrail 1 in the length direction of the handrail guide 9. It has increased. The thickness between the second lubricant application surface of the second lubricant member 12 and the second inclined surface decreases at a constant rate in the same direction as the traveling direction of the moving handrail 1 in the length direction of the handrail guide 9. ing. As a result, when the moving handrail 1 travels, the second lubricating member 12 bites between the first lubricating member 11 and the upper extension surface 6 due to the wedge effect, and the second lubricant application surface of the second lubricating member 12 extends upward. Pressed against the surface 6. Therefore, a lubricant is applied to the upper extension surface 6.

　このように、実施の形態１によれば、第１および第２潤滑部材１１，１２を移動手摺１の摺動面に押圧する駆動機構を用いることなく、安価な構成で、移動手摺１の走行時に、上延長面６および下延長面７に同時に潤滑剤を塗布することができる。 As described above, according to the first embodiment, the traveling of the moving handrail 1 can be performed with an inexpensive configuration without using a drive mechanism that presses the first and

second lubricating members

11 and 12 against the sliding surface of the moving handrail 1. Sometimes the lubricant can be applied to the upper extension surface 6 and the lower extension surface 7 simultaneously.

　なお、上記実施の形態１では、手摺ガイドに固定された第１潤滑部材のガイド突起にガイド溝を嵌合させて、第２潤滑部材の幅方向の移動を規制しているが、手摺案内部に形成された開口部の幅方向の両側縁部に、手摺ガイドの長さ方向に延びる規制部材を設け、当該規制部材により第２潤滑部材の幅方向の移動を規制するようにしてもよい。この場合、ガイド突起およびガイド溝をなくし、第１潤滑部材の潤滑剤塗布部の下面の全面を第１傾斜面とし、第２潤滑部材の潤滑剤塗布部の上面の全面を第２傾斜面とすればよい。 In the first embodiment, the guide groove of the first lubricating member fixed to the handrail guide is fitted into the guide groove to restrict the movement of the second lubricating member in the width direction. A restricting member extending in the length direction of the handrail guide may be provided at both side edges in the width direction of the opening formed in, and the movement of the second lubricating member in the width direction may be restricted by the restricting member. In this case, the guide protrusion and the guide groove are eliminated, the entire lower surface of the lubricant application portion of the first lubricating member is the first inclined surface, and the entire upper surface of the lubricant application portion of the second lubricating member is the second inclined surface. do it.

The second stopper 9f is formed by bending the other edge in the length direction of the opening 9d downward. Furthermore, the width direction movement restricting portion 9g is formed by bending downward both side edges in the width direction of the opening 9d.

The first lubricating member 21 is restricted from moving in the width direction of the handrail guide 9 by the pair of width direction movement restricting portions 9g. Further, the first lubricating member 21 is prevented from moving in the same direction as the traveling direction of the moving handrail 1 in the length direction of the handrail guide 9 by the first stopper 9e. Similarly, the movement of the handrail guide 9 in the width direction is also restricted by the pair of width direction movement restricting portions 9g. The second lubricating member 22 is prevented from moving in the direction opposite to the traveling direction of the moving handrail 1 in the length direction of the handrail guide 9 by the second stopper 9f.

　このように構成された潤滑剤塗布装置２０では、第１潤滑部材２１と第２潤滑部材２２とが、第１傾斜面と第２傾斜面とが接して重ねられ、手摺ガイド９の長さ方向に摺動可能となっている。第１潤滑剤塗布面と第２潤滑剤塗布面は、移動手摺の搬送路の中心を通る鉛直面と略直交する、互いに平行な平面となっている。第１潤滑部材２１における第１潤滑剤塗布面と第１傾斜面との間の厚さが、手摺ガイド９の長さ方向の移動手摺１の走行方向と同じ方向に向かって一定の割合で増加している。第２潤滑部材２２における第２潤滑剤塗布面と第２傾斜面との間の厚さが、手摺ガイド９の長さ方向の移動手摺１の走行方向と同じ方向に向かって一定の割合で減少している。 In the lubricant application device 20 configured as described above, the first lubricating member 21 and the second lubricating member 22 are overlapped with the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface being in contact with each other, and the length direction of the handrail guide 9 Is slidable. The first lubricant application surface and the second lubricant application surface are flat surfaces that are substantially orthogonal to a vertical plane that passes through the center of the transport path of the moving handrail. The thickness between the first lubricant application surface and the first inclined surface of the first lubricating member 21 increases at a constant rate in the same direction as the traveling direction of the moving handrail 1 in the length direction of the handrail guide 9. is doing. The thickness between the second lubricant application surface and the second inclined surface of the second lubricating member 22 decreases at a constant rate in the same direction as the traveling direction of the moving handrail 1 in the length direction of the handrail guide 9. is doing.

　ここで、移動手摺１が図１１中で左方向（走行方向）に移動すると、第２潤滑部材２２の第２潤滑剤塗布面が、第２潤滑部材２２の自重により、移動手摺１の上延長面６に押圧される。そこで、第２潤滑部材２２は、移動手摺１の上延長面６との間に発生する摩擦力により、移動手摺１とともに移動し、第１潤滑部材２１の第１傾斜面上を摺動移動し、第１潤滑部材２１と第２潤滑部材２２との総厚が厚くなる。そして、第１潤滑部材２１と第２潤滑部材２２との総厚が、上延長面６と下延長面７との間の隙間より大きくなろうとする。このクサビ効果により、第２潤滑部材２２を移動手摺１の上延長面６に押圧する押圧力が発生する。同時に、第１潤滑部材２１を移動手摺１の下延長面７に押圧する押圧力が発生する。そこで、移動手摺１の上延長面６は、当該押圧力を受けた状態で、第２潤滑部材２２の第２潤滑剤塗布面上を摺動し、潤滑剤が塗布される。また、移動手摺１の下延長面７は、当該押圧力を受けた状態で、第１潤滑部材２１の第１潤滑剤塗布面上を摺動し、潤滑剤が塗布される。 Here, when the moving handrail 1 moves in the left direction (traveling direction) in FIG. 11, the second lubricant application surface of the second lubricating member 22 is extended above the moving handrail 1 by the weight of the second lubricating member 22. Pressed against the surface 6. Therefore, the second lubricating member 22 moves together with the moving handrail 1 by a frictional force generated between the upper extending surface 6 of the moving handrail 1 and slides on the first inclined surface of the first lubricating member 21. The total thickness of the first lubricating member 21 and the second lubricating member 22 is increased. Then, the total thickness of the first lubricating member 21 and the second lubricating member 22 tends to be larger than the gap between the upper extended surface 6 and the lower extended surface 7. The wedge effect generates a pressing force that presses the second lubricating member 22 against the upper extension surface 6 of the moving handrail 1. At the same time, a pressing force is generated to press the first lubricating member 21 against the lower extension surface 7 of the moving handrail 1. Therefore, the upper extension surface 6 of the moving handrail 1 slides on the second lubricant application surface of the second lubricant member 22 in a state of receiving the pressing force, and the lubricant is applied. In addition, the lower extension surface 7 of the moving handrail 1 slides on the first lubricant application surface of the first lubricant member 21 in a state of receiving the pressing force, and the lubricant is applied.

　第１および第２潤滑部材２１，２２は、潤滑剤の塗布により、摩耗し、厚みが薄くなる。そして、第１潤滑部材２１の第１潤滑剤塗布面と第２潤滑部材２２の第２潤滑剤塗布面との間の厚みが、上延長面６と下延長面７との間の間隔以下となるまで、上延長面６および下延長面７への潤滑剤の塗布が同時に行われる。 The first and

second lubricating members

21 and 22 are worn and thinned by application of the lubricant. The thickness between the first lubricant application surface of the first lubricant member 21 and the second lubricant application surface of the second lubricant member 22 is equal to or less than the distance between the upper extension surface 6 and the lower extension surface 7. Until then, the lubricant is applied to the upper extension surface 6 and the lower extension surface 7 simultaneously.

　ここで、第１潤滑部材２１の第１潤滑剤塗布面と第２潤滑部材２２の第２潤滑剤塗布面との間の厚みが、上延長面６と下延長面７との間の間隔以下となると、第２潤滑部材２２が、第１潤滑部材２１と第２潤滑部材２２の自重により上延長面６に押圧される。そこで、摩耗により第２潤滑部材２２の厚みが徐々に薄くなり、第２潤滑部材２２が第１潤滑部材２１とともに図１１中左方向に移動する。そして、第１潤滑部材２１が移動手摺１の走行方向の前方に位置する第１ストッパ９ｅに当接する。これにより、移動手摺１の走行方向の前方への第１および第２潤滑部材２１，２２の逸脱が阻止される。 Here, the thickness between the first lubricant application surface of the first lubricant member 21 and the second lubricant application surface of the second lubricant member 22 is equal to or less than the distance between the upper extension surface 6 and the lower extension surface 7. Then, the second lubricating member 22 is pressed against the upper extension surface 6 by the weight of the first lubricating member 21 and the second lubricating member 22. Therefore, the thickness of the second lubricating member 22 gradually decreases due to wear, and the second lubricating member 22 moves to the left in FIG. 11 together with the first lubricating member 21. Then, the first lubricating member 21 comes into contact with the first stopper 9e located in front of the moving handrail 1 in the traveling direction. Thereby, the deviation of the 1st and

2nd lubrication members

21 and 22 ahead of the running direction of movable handrail 1 is prevented.

　また、保守点検時などで、移動手摺１が図１１中右方向に移動すると、第２潤滑部材２２は、移動手摺１の上延長面６との間の摩擦力により、移動手摺１の進行方向に移動し、ついには、移動手摺１の進行方向の前方に位置する第２ストッパ９ｆに当接する。これにより、移動手摺１の進行方向の前方への第１および第２潤滑部材２１，２２の逸脱が阻止される。
　このように、移動手摺１の双方向の移動に対して、第１および第２潤滑部材２１，２２は、第１傾斜面と第２傾斜面とを摺動可能に嵌合させた状態で、開口部９ｄ内に保持される。 Further, when the moving handrail 1 moves to the right in FIG. 11 during maintenance inspection, the second lubricating member 22 moves in the traveling direction of the moving handrail 1 due to the frictional force with the upper extension surface 6 of the moving handrail 1. And finally comes into contact with the second stopper 9 f located in the forward direction of the moving handrail 1. Thereby, the deviation of the 1st and

2nd lubrication members

21 and 22 ahead of the advancing direction of movable handrail 1 is prevented.
Thus, with respect to the bidirectional movement of the moving handrail 1, the first and

second lubricating members

21, 22 are slidably fitted to the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface, It is held in the opening 9d.

　この実施の形態２では、第１潤滑部材２１と第２潤滑部材２２とが、第１傾斜面と第２傾斜面とを接して重ねられて、手摺ガイド９の手摺案内部９ｃに形成された開口部９ｄから上下に突出するように配置されている。そこで、移動手摺１が手摺ガイド９に装着された際には、第１潤滑部材２１と第２潤滑部材２２との積層体が移動手摺１の上延長面６および下延長面７間に配置される。また、第１潤滑部材２１の第１潤滑剤塗布面と第１傾斜面との間の厚みが、手摺ガイド９の長さ方向の移動手摺１の走行方向と同じ方向に向かって一定の割合で増加している。第２潤滑部材２２の第２潤滑剤塗布面と第２傾斜面との間の厚みが、手摺ガイド９の長さ方向の移動手摺１の走行方向と同じ方向に向かって一定の割合で減少している。 In the second embodiment, the first lubricating member 21 and the second lubricating member 22 are formed on the handrail guide portion 9c of the handrail guide 9 by overlapping the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface. It arrange | positions so that it may protrude from the opening part 9d up and down. Therefore, when the moving handrail 1 is mounted on the handrail guide 9, the laminated body of the first lubricating member 21 and the second lubricating member 22 is disposed between the upper extension surface 6 and the lower extension surface 7 of the moving handrail 1. The Further, the thickness between the first lubricant application surface of the first lubricating member 21 and the first inclined surface is constant at a constant rate in the same direction as the traveling direction of the moving handrail 1 in the length direction of the handrail guide 9. It has increased. The thickness between the second lubricant application surface and the second inclined surface of the second lubricating member 22 decreases at a constant rate in the same direction as the traveling direction of the moving handrail 1 in the length direction of the handrail guide 9. ing.

　これにより、移動手摺１の走行時には、第２潤滑部材２２がクサビ効果により第１潤滑部材２１と上延長面６との間に食い込み、第２潤滑部材２２の第２潤滑剤塗布面が上延長面６に押圧されるとともに、第１潤滑部材２１の第１潤滑剤塗布面が下延長面７に押圧される。そこで、潤滑剤が上延長面６および下延長面７に塗布される。 Thereby, when the moving handrail 1 travels, the second lubricating member 22 bites between the first lubricating member 21 and the upper extension surface 6 due to the wedge effect, and the second lubricant application surface of the second lubricating member 22 extends upward. While being pressed by the surface 6, the first lubricant application surface of the first lubricating member 21 is pressed by the lower extension surface 7. Therefore, the lubricant is applied to the upper extension surface 6 and the lower extension surface 7.

　このように、実施の形態２によれば、第１および第２潤滑部材２１，２２を移動手摺１の摺動面に押圧する駆動機構を用いることなく、安価な構成で、移動手摺１の走行時に、上延長面６および下延長面７に同時に潤滑剤を塗布することができる。 Thus, according to the second embodiment, the traveling of the moving handrail 1 can be performed with an inexpensive configuration without using a drive mechanism that presses the first and

second lubricating members

21 and 22 against the sliding surface of the moving handrail 1. Sometimes the lubricant can be applied to the upper extension surface 6 and the lower extension surface 7 simultaneously.

It may be installed. Furthermore, the moving handrail guide device may be installed in an inclined path, an upper horizontal path, and a lower horizontal path of the forward path part.

　また、上記各実施の形態では、移動手摺の走行方向が一方向の場合について説明しているが、エスカレータでは、移動手摺は双方向に移動することが一般的である。そこで、移動手摺が双方向に移動するエスカレータにおいては、第１潤滑部材と第２潤滑部材との嵌合部を構成する第１および第２傾斜面の傾斜方向が逆向きとなるように、潤滑剤塗布装置を複数設置すればよい。これにより、移動手摺の双方向の移動に対して、いずれかの潤滑剤塗布装置がクサビ効果を発揮し、移動手摺の上延長面および下延長面に潤滑剤を塗布することができる。 In each of the above embodiments, the case where the traveling direction of the moving handrail is one direction has been described. However, in the escalator, the moving handrail generally moves in both directions.
