Passenger conveying apparatus and restarting method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a passenger conveying apparatus which can accurately judge whether the actions of safety mechanisms causing an emergent stop are caused by a temporary abnormity or not, and can be restarted safely. In the passenger conveying apparatus of the invention, when the passenger conveying apparatus is emergently stopped by the actions of the safety mechanisms (10a, 10b, 11, 12, 13), a control mechanism (4) judges whether the actions are temporary abnormity or not, and automatically restarts; the passenger conveying apparatus is provided with monitoring cameras (14a, 14b) for shooting appearance conditions of external safety mechanisms (10a, 10b, 11) acting because of reasons of the passengers in the safety mechanisms; when the passenger conveying apparatus is emergently stopped because of the actions of the external safety mechanism, the abnormity is judged whether is a temporary abnormity or not according to the appearance conditions of the acting external safety mechanisms in the image taken by the monitoring camera and the current appearance condition of the external safety mechanism.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a passenger conveying facility, and more particularly, to a passenger conveying facility that automatically restarts by self-diagnosis when an emergency stop is performed, and a restarting method thereof. Background technique [0002] There has been disclosed a technique for restarting a passenger conveyance facility without requiring confirmation by a worker when a safety mechanism is activated due to a temporary abnormality and the passenger conveyance facility is brought to an emergency stop. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a scheme in which when a passenger conveying equipment is stopped in an emergency due to the action of a safety mechanism, the operation state immediately before the emergency stop and detection by a passenger detection mechanism such as a safety mechanism and a camera are disclosed. According to the current status of the passenger conveying equipment, it can be judged whether it can be s...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] In the prior art described above, when the emergency stop of the passenger conveying equipment is performed due to the operation of the safety mechanism, the emergency stop is judged to be caused by a temporary abnormality, and restarting is performed, but the safety mechanism may be activated again. resulting in another emergency stop of the passenger conveyor

That is to say, the above-mentioned prior art has room for further improvement in accurately judging whether it is a temporary abnormality
