Embodiment Construction

[0012] figure 1 A schematic side view of an exemplary embodiment of a people conveyor 10 comprising a truss 8 extending between two landing sections 11 is depicted. The people conveyor 10 comprises a plurality of conveyor elements 13 . The conveyor elements are connected to one another by conveyor chains 17 so that an endless conveyor belt 12 is formed. The conveyor chain 17 is driven by a sprocket 16 ("conveyor chain sprocket 16"), which is mounted to the rotating shaft 15, forming a shaft and sprocket assembly.

[0013] The drive unit 14 is configured for rotatably driving the rotary shaft 15 via a transmission element 18 which may be a drive chain or a drive belt. Rotating the rotating shaft 15 rotates the conveyor chain sprockets 16 , thereby driving the conveyor chain 17 . The shaft and sprocket assembly and drive unit 14 are supported by a truss 8 extending between the two landing sections 11 .

Abstract

A people conveyor (10) includes a conveyor belt (12) having a plurality of conveyor elements (13); a truss (8) supporting the conveyor belt (12); mounted to the truss (8) and configured to drive the conveyor belt ( 12) motor (24); and force sensor (26). A force sensor (26) is disposed between the motor (24) and the truss (8) and is configured to measure the force exerted by the motor (24) on the truss (8).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to people conveyors such as escalators or moving walks, and in particular to a people conveyor comprising load sensors allowing real-time passenger load data to be provided. Background technique [0002] Real-time passenger load data of people conveyors such as escalators or moving walks provides information for remote monitoring and diagnosis of operating conditions, which is important for maintenance and safety purposes. The electrical power of the motors driving the people conveyor can be measured to estimate passenger load. However, measuring motor power requires special equipment, which is expensive and requires additional installation space. [0003] It is therefore desirable to improve the determination of the passenger load of people conveyors, in particular to reduce costs and the necessary installation space. Contents of the invention [0004] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a p...
