The safety device 8 is provided in at least one of the storage portion 9 on the upper floor side and the storage portion 9 on the lower floor side.
例えば乗客コンベア1の上り運転時に、駆動装置2は、制御盤4の制御によって駆動力を発生させる。複数のステップ3の各々は、駆動装置2が発生させた駆動力によって循環移動する。一対の欄干5の各々において、移動手摺6は、駆動装置2が発生させた駆動力によって循環移動する。移動手摺6は、下階側の収納部9から出た後に、ガイドレール7に沿って往路を移動する。移動手摺6は、往路を下階側から上階側に移動した後に、上階側の収納部9から欄干5の内部に収納される。移動手摺6は、欄干5の内部において帰路を上階側から下階側に移動する。
For example, during the uphill operation of the passenger conveyor 1, the drive device 2 generates a driving force under the control of the control panel 4. Each of the plurality of steps 3 circulates and moves by the driving force generated by the driving device 2. In each of the pair of balustrades 5, the moving handrail 6 circulates and moves by the driving force generated by the driving device 2. The moving handrail 6 moves on the outward route along the guide rail 7 after exiting from the storage portion 9 on the lower floor side. The moving handrail 6 is stored inside the balustrade 5 from the storage portion 9 on the upper floor side after moving the outbound route from the lower floor side to the upper floor side. The moving handrail 6 moves the return route from the upper floor side to the lower floor side inside the balustrade 5.
乗客コンベア1の上り運転時に、乗客は、一対の欄干5の移動手摺6の一方の外周をつかんで下階側から複数のステップ3のいずれかに乗る。乗客は、往路を移動するステップ3の上に立ち止まって上階側に移動する。

In this example, the movinghandrail 6 moves from the front to the rear and is stored inside the storage portion 9 of the balustrade 5. That is, in the storage portion 9, the front side is the upstream side in the traveling direction. In the storage portion 9, the rear side is the downstream side in the traveling direction.
この例において、移動手摺6は、前方から後方に移動して欄干5の収納部9の内部に収納される。すなわち、収納部9において、前側は進行方向の上流側である。収納部9において、後側は進行方向の下流側である。 FIG. 3 shows an enlarged view of part A of FIG. 1 as viewed from the left-right direction of the passenger conveyor 1.
In this example, the moving
保護体10の軸方向は、移動手摺6の進行方向に向けられる。保護体10において移動手摺6の進行方向の上流側の端部は、第1端部12である。この例において、第1端部12は、保護体10の中央の筒状の部分より大きい外径を有するつば状の部分である。保護体10において移動手摺6の進行方向の下流側の端部は、第2端部13である。保護体10は、第1端部12から進行方向の側に延びる切込み14を有する。保護体10は、切込み14によって第1端部12の側から開くように分割されている。なお、切込み14は、第2端部13にまで達していてもよい。
The axial direction of the protective body 10 is directed to the traveling direction of the moving handrail 6. The end portion of the protective body 10 on the upstream side in the traveling direction of the moving handrail 6 is the first end portion 12. In this example, the first end portion 12 is a brim-shaped portion having an outer diameter larger than the central tubular portion of the protective body 10. The end portion of the protective body 10 on the downstream side in the traveling direction of the moving handrail 6 is the second end portion 13. The protecting body 10 has a notch 14 extending from the first end portion 12 toward the traveling direction. The protective body 10 is divided by a notch 14 so as to open from the side of the first end portion 12. The notch 14 may reach the second end portion 13.
支持部11は、固定板15と、可動板16と、ボルト17と、ナット18と、押さえバネ19と、支持板20と、を備える。
The support portion 11 includes a fixing plate 15, a movable plate 16, a bolt 17, a nut 18, a holding spring 19, and a support plate 20.
固定板15は、支持部11の前側に設けられる。固定板15は、例えば鉛直方向に延びる金属板である。固定板15は、貫通孔21を有する。
The fixing plate 15 is provided on the front side of the support portion 11. The fixing plate 15 is, for example, a metal plate extending in the vertical direction. The fixing plate 15 has a through hole 21.
可動板16は、下端を支点として前後方向に回転可能に設けられる。可動板16は、固定板15の後方に重なる位置に配置される。可動板16は、中間部に貫通孔22を有する。可動板16の貫通孔22は、可動板16が固定板15の後方に重ねられるときに固定板15の貫通孔21に重なる位置に設けられる。この例において、貫通孔22は、鉛直方向に長い長孔である。
The movable plate 16 is provided so as to be rotatable in the front-rear direction with the lower end as a fulcrum. The movable plate 16 is arranged at a position overlapping behind the fixed plate 15. The movable plate 16 has a through hole 22 in the intermediate portion. The through hole 22 of the movable plate 16 is provided at a position where the movable plate 16 overlaps the through hole 21 of the fixed plate 15 when the movable plate 16 is overlapped behind the fixed plate 15. In this example, the through hole 22 is an elongated hole long in the vertical direction.
ボルト17は、固定板15の前方から貫通孔21および貫通孔22の順に通される。ナット18は、可動板16の後方からボルト17に留められる。
The bolt 17 is passed through the through hole 21 and the through hole 22 in this order from the front of the fixing plate 15. The nut 18 is fastened to the bolt 17 from the rear of the movable plate 16.
押さえバネ19は、移動手摺6の進行方向の反対側に押し付ける弾性力を保護体10に加える部材である。この例において、押さえバネ19は、コイルバネである。押さえバネ19は、ボルト17に通される。押さえバネ19は、可動板16の後面とナット18との間に圧縮された状態で配置される。押さえバネ19は、可動板16が固定板15の後方に重なるように可動板16に力を加えている。
The pressing spring 19 is a member that applies an elastic force that presses the moving handrail 6 to the opposite side in the traveling direction to the protective body 10. In this example, the pressing spring 19 is a coil spring. The pressing spring 19 is passed through the bolt 17. The pressing spring 19 is arranged in a compressed state between the rear surface of the movable plate 16 and the nut 18. The pressing spring 19 applies a force to the movable plate 16 so that the movable plate 16 overlaps the fixed plate 15 behind.
支持板20は、可動板16の上端に例えばネジ止めによって取り付けられる。支持板20は、保護体10を支持する板である。支持板20は、例えば金属板である。この例において、支持板20は、いす状の形状に折れ曲がっている。支持板20は、可動板16の上端に取り付けられた箇所から、後方に折れ曲がる。支持板20は、可動板16の上端に取り付けられた箇所より後方において、上方に立ち上がる。支持板20の上方に立ち上がる箇所は、保護体10の第2端部13に取り付けられる。
The support plate 20 is attached to the upper end of the movable plate 16 by, for example, screwing. The support plate 20 is a plate that supports the protective body 10. The support plate 20 is, for example, a metal plate. In this example, the support plate 20 is bent into a chair shape. The support plate 20 bends rearward from a portion attached to the upper end of the movable plate 16. The support plate 20 rises upward behind the portion attached to the upper end of the movable plate 16. The portion that rises above the support plate 20 is attached to the second end portion 13 of the protective body 10.
ここで、支持板20は弾性力によって第1端部12を開く力を保護体10に加えてもよい。このとき、支持板20は、開きバネの例である。支持板20の上方に立ち上がる箇所は、例えば前面が反るような板バネとして形成される。このとき、板バネの弾性力によって、支持板20は、第1端部12を開く力を保護体10に加える。
Here, the support plate 20 may apply a force to open the first end portion 12 to the protective body 10 by an elastic force. At this time, the support plate 20 is an example of an opening spring. The portion that rises above the support plate 20 is formed as, for example, a leaf spring that warps the front surface. At this time, due to the elastic force of the leaf spring, the support plate 20 applies a force to open the first end portion 12 to the protective body 10.
安全装置8は、安全スイッチ23と、意匠板24と、を備える。
The safety device 8 includes a safety switch 23 and a design plate 24.
安全スイッチ23は、移動手摺6の進行方向の側への保護体10の変位を検知する機器である。安全スイッチ23は、検知器の例である。安全スイッチ23は、支持部11に固定して取り付けられる。安全スイッチ23の先端は、可動板16の後面に接触している。安全スイッチ23は、保護体10の変位を検知するときに検知信号を出力しうるように、制御盤4に接続される。
The safety switch 23 is a device that detects the displacement of the protective body 10 toward the traveling direction side of the moving handrail 6. The safety switch 23 is an example of a detector. The safety switch 23 is fixedly attached to the support portion 11. The tip of the safety switch 23 is in contact with the rear surface of the movable plate 16. The safety switch 23 is connected to the control panel 4 so that a detection signal can be output when the displacement of the protective body 10 is detected.
意匠板24は、欄干5において固定されている。意匠板24は、前面に意匠面25を有する。意匠面25は、欄干5の外部に露出する部分である。意匠板24は、裏面に複数の突起26を有する。複数の突起26は、第1端部12の外周を進行方向の上流側から被さって押えている。裏面に突起26を有する意匠板24は、被せ部の例である。
The design plate 24 is fixed at the balustrade 5. The design plate 24 has a design surface 25 on the front surface. The design surface 25 is a portion exposed to the outside of the balustrade 5. The design plate 24 has a plurality of protrusions 26 on the back surface. The plurality of protrusions 26 cover and press the outer periphery of the first end portion 12 from the upstream side in the traveling direction. The design plate 24 having the protrusion 26 on the back surface is an example of the covering portion.
乗客コンベア1の通常運転時において、保護体10は、押さえバネ19の弾性力によって可動板16および支持板20を介して移動手摺6の進行方向の反対側に押し付けられる。保護体10の第1端部12は、意匠板24の裏面に押し付けられている。このとき、移動手摺6の進行方向の側に保護体10は変位しない。安全スイッチ23は、検知信号を出力しない。制御盤4は、安全スイッチ23から検知信号が入力されないので、乗客コンベア1の通常運転を継続させる。
During normal operation of the passenger conveyor 1, the protective body 10 is pressed by the elastic force of the pressing spring 19 to the opposite side of the moving handrail 6 in the traveling direction via the movable plate 16 and the support plate 20. The first end portion 12 of the protective body 10 is pressed against the back surface of the design plate 24. At this time, the protective body 10 is not displaced toward the moving handrail 6 in the traveling direction. The safety switch 23 does not output a detection signal. Since the detection signal is not input from the safety switch 23 to the control panel 4, the normal operation of the passenger conveyor 1 is continued.
意匠板24は、裏面の突起26によって保護体10の第1端部12に移動手摺6の進行方向の上流側から被さる。保護体10の第1端部12は、意匠板24の突起26によって外周から押えられる。このとき、保護体10の第1端部12は、開かない。
The design plate 24 covers the first end portion 12 of the protective body 10 from the upstream side in the traveling direction of the moving handrail 6 by the protrusion 26 on the back surface. The first end portion 12 of the protective body 10 is pressed from the outer circumference by the protrusion 26 of the design plate 24. At this time, the first end portion 12 of the protective body 10 does not open.
続いて、図4を用いて、安全装置8の機能を説明する。
図4は、実施の形態1に係る安全装置の構成図である。
図4において、異物が挟まるときの安全装置8が示される。 Subsequently, the function of thesafety device 8 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram of the safety device according to the first embodiment.

図4は、実施の形態1に係る安全装置の構成図である。
図4において、異物が挟まるときの安全装置8が示される。 Subsequently, the function of the
FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram of the safety device according to the first embodiment.
FIG. 4 shows a
乗客コンベア1が運転しているときに、異物が移動手摺6とともに収納部9に入り込む場合を考える。図示されない異物は、移動手摺6とともに進行方向に移動する。異物は、上流側から保護体10に接触して挟まる。異物は、移動手摺6とともにさらに進行方向に移動する。挟まった異物は、上流側から保護体10を進行方向に押し込む。保護体10は、支持板20とともに進行方向に押し込まれて変位する。可動板16は、支持板20とともに、押さえバネ19の弾性力に抗しながら後方に回転する。可動板16は、接触している安全スイッチ23の先端を押し込む。安全スイッチ23は、可動板16に押し込まれることによって、保護体10の変位を検知する。安全スイッチ23は、検知信号を制御盤4に出力する。検知信号が入力されるときに、制御盤4は、駆動装置2に停止の制御信号を出力する。停止の制御信号が入力されるときに、駆動装置2は、停止する。
Consider a case where a foreign object enters the storage unit 9 together with the moving handrail 6 while the passenger conveyor 1 is operating. The foreign matter (not shown) moves in the traveling direction together with the moving handrail 6. The foreign matter comes into contact with the protective body 10 from the upstream side and is pinched. The foreign matter further moves in the traveling direction together with the moving handrail 6. The pinched foreign matter pushes the protective body 10 in the traveling direction from the upstream side. The protective body 10 is pushed in the traveling direction together with the support plate 20 and is displaced. The movable plate 16 rotates backward together with the support plate 20 while resisting the elastic force of the pressing spring 19. The movable plate 16 pushes the tip of the safety switch 23 in contact with the movable plate 16. The safety switch 23 detects the displacement of the protective body 10 by being pushed into the movable plate 16. The safety switch 23 outputs a detection signal to the control panel 4. When the detection signal is input, the control panel 4 outputs a stop control signal to the drive device 2. When the stop control signal is input, the drive device 2 stops.
このとき、保護体10は、後方に変位している。保護体10の第1端部12は、被せ部の例である意匠板24の突起26から外れている。このため、保護体10の第1端部12は、外周から押えられていない。これにより、保護体10は、切込み14によって第1端部12が開くようになる。挟まった異物が取り除かれる場合に、保護体10の第1端部12が開かれる。また、開きバネの例である支持板20が弾性力によって第1端部12を開く力を保護体10に加えている場合に、保護体10が後方に変位するときに、第1端部12は支持板20の弾性力によって自然に開く。異物は、開いた第1端部12の側から、進行方向の反対側に引き出されて取り除かれる。
At this time, the protective body 10 is displaced rearward. The first end portion 12 of the protective body 10 is detached from the protrusion 26 of the design plate 24, which is an example of the covering portion. Therefore, the first end portion 12 of the protective body 10 is not pressed from the outer circumference. As a result, the first end portion 12 of the protective body 10 is opened by the notch 14. When the pinched foreign matter is removed, the first end 12 of the protective body 10 is opened. Further, when the support plate 20 which is an example of the opening spring applies a force for opening the first end portion 12 to the protective body 10 by an elastic force, when the protective body 10 is displaced rearward, the first end portion 12 Opens naturally due to the elastic force of the support plate 20. The foreign matter is pulled out from the side of the open first end portion 12 to the opposite side in the traveling direction and removed.
以上に説明したように、実施の形態1に係る安全装置8は、保護体10と、検知器と、被せ部と、を備える。乗客コンベア1の移動手摺6は、循環移動する。保護体10は、移動手摺6を外周から覆う。保護体10は、切込み14によって第1端部12が開くように分割される。切込み14は、第1端部12から移動手摺6の進行方向の側に延びる。第1端部12は、進行方向の上流側の端部である。検知器は、進行方向の側への保護体10の変位を検知する。被せ部は、保護体10の第1端部12が開かないように第1端部12の外周を進行方向の上流側から被さって押さえる。
As described above, the safety device 8 according to the first embodiment includes a protective body 10, a detector, and a covering portion. The moving handrail 6 of the passenger conveyor 1 circulates and moves. The protective body 10 covers the moving handrail 6 from the outer circumference. The protective body 10 is divided by the notch 14 so that the first end portion 12 is opened. The notch 14 extends from the first end portion 12 toward the moving handrail 6 in the traveling direction. The first end portion 12 is an end portion on the upstream side in the traveling direction. The detector detects the displacement of the protective body 10 toward the traveling direction. The covering portion covers and presses the outer circumference of the first end portion 12 from the upstream side in the traveling direction so that the first end portion 12 of the protective body 10 does not open.
保護体10の上流側の第1端部12は、通常運転時において、被せ部によって押さえられることで閉じた状態を維持する。このため、保護体10を一体化させるエネルギーが消費されない。異物が挟まるときに、保護体10は、後方に押し込まれる。このとき、第1端部12は、被せ部から外れる。これにより、保護体10は、第1端部12の側が開くようになる。このため、挟まった異物を取り除くことが容易になる。また、異物を第1端部12の側から引き抜くときに、被せ部は、第1端部12から外れている。このため、被せ部は、第1端部12を閉じる方向に保護体10を絞る力を加えない。これにより、挟まった異物を取り除くことが容易になる。安全装置8は、保護体10を一体化させるために電磁石または真空ポンプなどの装置を必要としない。このため、簡易な構造によって安全装置8が実現される。
The first end portion 12 on the upstream side of the protective body 10 is held in a closed state by being pressed by the covering portion during normal operation. Therefore, the energy for integrating the protecting body 10 is not consumed. When a foreign object is caught, the protective body 10 is pushed backward. At this time, the first end portion 12 comes off from the covering portion. As a result, the protective body 10 opens on the side of the first end portion 12. Therefore, it becomes easy to remove the pinched foreign matter. Further, when the foreign matter is pulled out from the side of the first end portion 12, the covering portion is separated from the first end portion 12. Therefore, the covering portion does not apply a force to squeeze the protective body 10 in the direction of closing the first end portion 12. This makes it easy to remove the pinched foreign matter. The safety device 8 does not require a device such as an electromagnet or a vacuum pump to integrate the protective body 10. Therefore, the safety device 8 is realized by a simple structure.
また、安全装置8は、押さえバネ19を備える。押さえバネ19は、弾性力によって保護体10の第1端部12を被せ部に押し付ける。
Further, the safety device 8 includes a holding spring 19. The pressing spring 19 presses the first end portion 12 of the protective body 10 against the covering portion by an elastic force.
押さえバネ19は、被せ部が第1端部12から外れないように抵抗する力を保護体10に加える。これにより、例えば通常運転時の振動などによって被せ部が外れることが抑制される。このため、安全装置8の誤作動などが抑制される。安全装置8は、より安定に動作するようになる。
The pressing spring 19 applies a force to the protective body 10 so that the covering portion does not come off from the first end portion 12. As a result, it is possible to prevent the covering portion from coming off due to vibration during normal operation, for example. Therefore, malfunction of the safety device 8 and the like are suppressed. The safety device 8 will operate more stably.
また、安全装置8は、開きバネを備える。開きバネは、進行方向の下流側の保護体10の第2端部13に設けられる。開きバネは、弾性力によって第1端部12を開く力を保護体10に加える。
Further, the safety device 8 is provided with an opening spring. The opening spring is provided at the second end portion 13 of the protective body 10 on the downstream side in the traveling direction. The opening spring applies a force to open the first end portion 12 to the protective body 10 by an elastic force.
被せ部が外れるときに、開きバネは、弾性力によって第1端部12を開く。このため、第1端部12は、大きく開きやすい。これにより、挟まった異物を取り除くことがより容易になる。
When the covering portion comes off, the opening spring opens the first end portion 12 by elastic force. Therefore, the first end portion 12 is easy to open wide. This makes it easier to remove the pinched foreign matter.
なお、保護体10は、第1端部12が左右方向に開くように分割されてもよい。保護体10は、第1端部12が開くように3つ以上の部分に分割されてもよい。すなわち、保護体10は、2つ以上の切込み14を有してもよい。
The protective body 10 may be divided so that the first end portion 12 opens in the left-right direction. The protecting body 10 may be divided into three or more portions so that the first end portion 12 opens. That is, the protecting body 10 may have two or more notches 14.
被せ部は、意匠板24と別に設けられる例えばキャップ部であってもよい。被せ部は、欄干5において固定されている。被せ部は、第1端部12の外周の全周を押えてもよい。被せ部は、第1端部12の外周の一部を押えてもよい。
The covering portion may be, for example, a cap portion provided separately from the design plate 24. The covering portion is fixed in the balustrade 5. The covering portion may press the entire circumference of the outer circumference of the first end portion 12. The covering portion may press a part of the outer circumference of the first end portion 12.

安全装置8は、掛け部28と、保持部29と、を備える。
The safety device 8 includes a hanging portion 28 and a holding portion 29.
この例において、掛け部28は、支持板20に設けられる。掛け部28は、保護体10とともに変位する部分である。掛け部28は、例えば支持板20の上端から上方に立ち上がり、支持板20の上端より上方において後方に折れ曲がる。
In this example, the hanging portion 28 is provided on the support plate 20. The hanging portion 28 is a portion that is displaced together with the protective body 10. For example, the hanging portion 28 rises upward from the upper end of the support plate 20 and bends backward above the upper end of the support plate 20.
保持部29は、例えば板バネである。保持部29の後端は、安全装置8において固定されて取り付けられる。保持部29は、前端に爪部30を有する。爪部30は、下方に折れ曲がる部分である。異物が挟まっていない通常時の安全装置8において、保持部29は、掛け部28の後方に折れ曲がった部分の上に爪部30が乗るように反った状態に変形して配置される。
The holding portion 29 is, for example, a leaf spring. The rear end of the holding portion 29 is fixed and attached in the safety device 8. The holding portion 29 has a claw portion 30 at the front end. The claw portion 30 is a portion that bends downward. In the normal safety device 8 in which no foreign matter is caught, the holding portion 29 is deformed and arranged in a warped state so that the claw portion 30 rests on the portion bent behind the hanging portion 28.

FIG. 7 shows a
乗客コンベア1が運転しているときに、異物が移動手摺6とともに収納部9に入り込む場合を考える。挟まる異物は、保護体10を進行方向に押し込む。保護体10は、掛け部28とともに進行方向に変位する。掛け部28の上方に立ち上がる部分は、保持部29の爪部30より後方に変位する。このとき、保持部29は、弾性力によって平坦な状態に復元される。このとき、保持部29の爪部30は、掛け部28に引っかかる。これにより、保持部29は、保護体10を変位したまま保持する。保護体10は、押さえバネ19によって移動手摺6の進行方向の上流側に戻らない。このため、保護体10の第1端部12は、開いた状態が維持される。異物は、開いている第1端部12の側から、進行方向の反対側に引き出されて取り除かれる。
Consider a case where a foreign object enters the storage unit 9 together with the moving handrail 6 while the passenger conveyor 1 is operating. The pinched foreign matter pushes the protective body 10 in the traveling direction. The protective body 10 is displaced in the traveling direction together with the hanging portion 28. The portion that rises above the hanging portion 28 is displaced rearward from the claw portion 30 of the holding portion 29. At this time, the holding portion 29 is restored to a flat state by the elastic force. At this time, the claw portion 30 of the holding portion 29 is caught by the hanging portion 28. As a result, the holding portion 29 holds the protective body 10 in a displaced state. The protective body 10 does not return to the upstream side in the traveling direction of the moving handrail 6 due to the pressing spring 19. Therefore, the first end portion 12 of the protective body 10 is maintained in an open state. The foreign matter is pulled out from the side of the open first end portion 12 to the opposite side in the traveling direction and removed.
以上に説明したように、実施の形態2に係る安全装置8は、掛け部28と、保持部29と、を備える。掛け部28は、保護体10とともに変位する。保持部29は、保護体10とともに進行方向の側に変位した掛け部28を引っ掛ける。保持部29は、保護体10を進行方向の側に変位したまま保持する。
As described above, the safety device 8 according to the second embodiment includes a hanging portion 28 and a holding portion 29. The hanging portion 28 is displaced together with the protective body 10. The holding portion 29 hooks the hanging portion 28 displaced toward the traveling direction together with the protective body 10. The holding portion 29 holds the protective body 10 while being displaced toward the traveling direction.
挟まった異物が取り除かれるときに、保持部29は、保護体10が異物とともに上流側に引き戻されることを妨げる。これにより、挟まった異物を取り除くことが、より容易になる。
When the pinched foreign matter is removed, the holding portion 29 prevents the protective body 10 from being pulled back to the upstream side together with the foreign matter. This makes it easier to remove the pinched foreign matter.
