Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for guiding a drive chain consisting of chain plates, guide rollers and connecting elements in the region of a slewing device consisting of sprockets of a pedestrian conveyor system, in particular an escalator or a moving walkway, wherein the guide The roller is supported on the guide profile at least on the sprocket side. Background technique
[0002] During the slewing of the pedestrian conveyor drive chain through the slewing device including the sprockets, undesired polygonal and slewing effects occur which adversely affect the quiet operation of the pedestrian conveyor. The polygon effect is caused by the chain polygons being supported on the sprockets. As the angle of rotation increases, the effective radius of the sprocket changes, so the speed of the chain fluctuates between maximum and minimum values. The chain rollers and sprocket teeth have different speeds when meshing with the sprocket, thus causing coll...
