Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, if the speed of the passenger conveyor is set to a low speed, it will take longer to reach the destination floor
In addition, if the passenger conveyor is completely stopped, sometimes the speed of the steps when passengers board is not enough

example 1

[0075] For example, in the above embodiment, as Figure 4 to Figure 7 As shown, the speed of the step 25 is reduced to the speed V2 immediately from time t1 when the operation in the energy-saving operation mode is started, and the energy-saving operation is started. But not limited thereto, as an example, such as Figure 9 As shown, the timer time T may be set, and the timing of starting the energy-saving operation may be shifted by the amount of the timer time T from the time t1 when the operation in the energy-saving operation mode is started.

[0076] The length of the timer time T can be set separately for each of the energy-saving operation modes 1 to 4 . exist Figure 10 In FIG. 2 , a setting table showing the relationship between the energy-saving operation modes 1 to 4, the energy-saving operation speed corresponding to each energy-saving operation mode, and the timer time is shown. As shown in the setting table, for example, in the energy-saving operation modes 1 ...

example 2

[0080] In the above embodiment, if Figure 4 to Figure 7 As shown, in the energy-saving operation after the operation in the energy-saving operation mode is started, the speed of the steps 25 is uniformly reduced to the speed V2. However, it is not limited thereto, and the energy-saving operation speed may be changed depending on the installation place of the escalator 10 or the like.

[0081] The energy-saving operation speed of the step 25 can be separately set about each of the energy-saving operation modes 1-4. can also be as Figure 10 As shown in the setting table of , for example, in energy-saving operation modes 1 and 3, the energy-saving operation speed is set to speed V1, and in energy-saving operation modes 2 and 4, the energy-saving operation speed is set to speed V2 which is slower than speed V1.

[0082] In this way, when the energy-saving operation speed can be set for each energy-saving operation mode, the energy-saving operation mode can be changed according...

Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a passenger conveyor. Provided is a passenger conveyor capable of balancing both power saving and convenience. The passenger conveyor according to this embodiment includes a plurality of steps, a driving device, a detection unit, a calculation unit, and a control system. The steps are suspended between the departure floor and the target floor by apair of sprocket wheels and are connected to each other. The driving device drives the steps. The detection section detects passengers who boarded the steps from the departure floor. Based on the detection result of the detection unit, the calculation unit calculates the number of passengers who have stepped on the steps per unit time and the riding interval of the passengers who have taken the steps per unit time. The control system controls the driving device to drive the steps at a speed based on the calculation result of the calculation unit.

Description

[0001] This application is based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-104377 (filing date: May 31, 2018), and enjoys priority based on this application. This application incorporates the entire contents of this application by reference thereto. technical field [0002] Embodiments of the present invention relate to a passenger conveyor. Background technique [0003] In passenger conveyors typified by escalators, steps and handrails that move synchronously with the steps are always moving regardless of whether there are passengers or not. However, in recent years, passenger conveyors have been proposed that can reduce power consumption by changing the moving speed of the steps or stopping the movement of the steps according to the usage status of passengers. [0004] Conventional passenger conveyors predict the number of users of the passenger conveyor, and change the moving speed of the steps based on the prediction result or the difference between the prediction result ...
