[0002] Comb plates are a crucial component of escalators, located at both ends of the entrance / exit. They facilitate passenger transition and engage with the steps, treads, or moving walkway belts. Existing technology, such as the Chinese utility model patent application number "201811531419.4" entitled "Safety Structure of Escalator Comb Structure," provides a technical solution including a movable comb plate and a leading-edge tread connected to it via a pivot. However, in actual use, the comb plate in this solution can only rotate at a small angle, and after rotation, it faces the direction of passenger movement, easily causing injury. Secondly, the small rotation angle of the comb plate in this solution makes it easy for large objects to get stuck, even with rotation, making release difficult. Finally, the installation method of the output plate is complex, making disassembly and assembly very inconvenient during use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention discloses an escalator comb structure, including a step fixedly installed on the entrance and exit of an escalator, a rotating plate rotatably installed on one side of the step, and a comb tooth plate rotatably installed on the other side of the rotating plate relative to the step; the comb tooth plate includes a second plate body, one side of the second plate body is rotatably installed with the rotating plate, and the other side of the second plate body is provided with a plurality of sets of spaced comb teeth.
[0005] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the pedal includes a first plate, the first plate having a first through hole along a first direction on the side near the escalator, and a first latch on both sides of the first through hole on the side near the escalator.

[0016] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0018] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
[0019] See attached document Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides an escalator comb structure, including a step 100 fixedly installed on the entrance and exit of the escalator. A rotating plate 200 is rotatably installed on one side of the step 100, and a comb plate 300 is rotatably installed on the other side of the rotating plate 200 relative to the side connected to the step 100. The comb plate 300 includes a second plate body 301, one side of the second plate body 301 is rotatably installed with the rotating plate 200, and the other side of the second plate body 301 is provided with a plurality of sets of spaced comb teeth 304.
[0020] In this embodiment, the pedal 100 includes a first plate 101. The first plate 101 has a first through hole 102 along a first direction on the side near the escalator. The first plate 101 also has first latches 103 on both sides of the first through hole 102 on the side near the escalator. The design of the first through hole 102 and the first latches 103 provides a structural basis for the connection between the rotating plate 200 and the pedal 100.
[0021] The second plate 301, which is rotatably mounted to the rotating plate 200, has a second through hole 303 along the first direction. The second plate 301 has second latches 302 on both sides of the second through hole 303. Similarly, the second through hole 303 and the second latches 302 provide convenience and stability for the connection between the comb plate 300 and the rotating plate 200.
[0022] The rotating plate 200 has a first pivot hole 201 and a second pivot hole 203 sequentially formed along the direction of the comb teeth 304. When the first pivot hole 201 is concentrically aligned with either the first through hole 102 or the second through hole 303, the second pivot hole 203 is concentrically aligned with the other through hole of the first pivot hole 201 and the first through hole 102 or the second through hole 303. This design ensures that the rotating plate 200 can maintain accurate axial alignment with the pedal 100 and the comb tooth plate 300 under different rotational states, thereby achieving smooth and reliable rotation.
[0023] The structure also includes a rotating shaft 202, which is rotatably mounted in the first rotating shaft hole 201 and the second rotating shaft hole 203, and is disposed in the first through hole 102 and the second through hole 303. The rotating shaft 202 serves as an actual rotating connector, enabling smooth rotation between the components.
[0024] The step 100 is provided with two sets of fixing holes 104 for fixing the step 100. These fixing holes 104 are used to securely install the entire comb structure at the entrance and exit of the escalator, ensuring its stability during use.
[0025] The rotating plate 200 is provided in two sets, and the rotating plate 200 is rotatably mounted on both sides of the pedal 100 and the comb plate 300 via the rotating shaft 202. This arrangement of two sets of rotating plates increases the stability and reliability of the entire comb structure rotation and disperses stress.
[0026] To achieve better performance and cost-effectiveness, the rotating plate 200 is preferably a plastic rotating plate, and the rotating shaft 202 is preferably a metal rotating shaft. The plastic rotating plate can reduce costs and may have a certain degree of self-lubrication, while the metal rotating shaft provides sufficient strength and wear resistance to ensure reliability for long-term use.
[0027] During operation, when the escalator is running normally, the comb plate 300 forms a stable transition platform with the step 100 via the rotating plate 200, facilitating passenger passage. When a foreign object is present or a passenger's foot is stuck, the comb plate 300 will be subjected to external force. Because the comb plate 300 is rotatably connected to the rotating plate 200, and the rotating plate 200 is also rotatably connected to the step 100, this two-stage rotational structure allows the comb plate 300 to rotate and displace along the composite trajectory of the two rotating axes, thus providing greater rotational space and preventing the comb plate from directly hitting foreign objects or passengers, reducing the occurrence of injury and jamming.
[0028] Example 2 The structure in this embodiment is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1, with the main difference being: The number of rotating plates 200 can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, multiple sets of rotating plates can be set to further enhance the stability of rotation, or the number of rotating plates can be reduced to simplify the structure, as long as the effective rotation of the comb plate 300 can be ensured. In this embodiment, two sets can be set on both sides of the pedal 100 and the comb plate 300 respectively.
[0029] Example 3 The structure in this embodiment is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1, with the main difference being: In addition to plastic, the rotating plate 200 can be made of other suitable materials, such as engineering plastics, composite materials, or lightweight metals, depending on the actual application environment and requirements, to meet different strength, wear resistance, or flame retardant requirements. The rotating shaft 202 can also be made of high-strength ceramic materials or specific alloy materials, in addition to metal, to improve its corrosion resistance or performance under special working conditions.
[0030] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it. They cannot be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
