Passenger conveying device and guide boots used by the same

Abstract

The present invention provides a passenger conveying device with the advantages of low cost and excellent durability, and provides guide boots used by the passenger conveying device which has an excellent durability and can be conveniently arranged on a step. A locating notch (26) of the guide boots (18A, 18B) and connecting holes (19a, 19b) of the guide boots (18A, 18B) are formed on a reinforcing plate (19) of the step (2). The guide boots (18A, 18B) are formed by integrating a platelike sliding contact part (18a), first and second reinforcing ribs (24a, 24b), an embedded projection (25) formed between the first and second reinforcing ribs (24a, 24b), and connecting parts (18b, 18c) formed in parallel with the first and second reinforcing ribs (24a, 24b). The first and second reinforcing ribs (24a, 24b) are abutted against a right side and a rear side of the reinforcing plate, and the embedded projection is embedded in the locating notch formed on the reinforcing plate. In addition, by utilizing the connecting holes provided on the reinforcing plate, the connecting parts are connected with the reinforcing plate.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to passenger conveying equipment such as escalators and electric passages and guide shoes used therein, in particular to an installation structure for installing guide shoes on steps of passenger conveying equipment. Background technique [0002] Passenger conveying equipment mainly consists of a frame installed on a building structure, entrance and exit floors arranged at both ends of the frame in the length direction, steps that are connected in a ring and circulate between the entrance and exit floors at both ends, and installed on the frame. It consists of guide rails that guide the steps on and along a prescribed moving path, and railings with skirt guards that are installed on the frame and arranged along the moving direction of the steps. The steps have: anti-skid plates for passengers to stand on; kick plates constituting the step portion of each step; brackets provided near the side ends (side portions) of the ant...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] On the other hand, the step 2 manufactured by assembling various components made of stainless steel or the like cannot integrate the hub 13a for mounting the guide shoe 18 on the outer surface of the tripod 13 in terms of cost. forming

Therefore, as a method of installing the guide shoe 18 on this kind of step 2, it is known to install the wheel hub 13a which is manufactured separately from the triangle bracket 13 or the guide shoe installation part for replacing the wheel hub 13a on the triangle bracket by post-processing. The method on the outer surface of the bracket 13, but this method is very expensive in terms of material cost and processing cost compared with the steps made by aluminum die-casting method
