Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of moving walkways, in particular to a device that can realize safety protection for passengers entering the standing area of the moving walkway after detecting the missing situation in front of the comb plate. BACKGROUND

[0002] The moving walkway is a device with circulating running steps. The running track of the steps is divided into a working section and a non-working section, and the steps continuously circulate in the two sections. The steps in the working section bear the function of transporting passengers, which is the passenger standing section. The steps in the non-working section are located inside the device, and this part is invisible to passengers during operation. In the operation process of the device, each step will enter the non-working section from the working section, and then enter the working section from the non-working section to circulate.

[0003] During the circulation process, the risk of step missing may occur due to loose connections, broken steps, etc. When the step missing occurs in the working section, it can be visually perceived by passengers and they will take preventive measures. When the step missing occurs in the non-working section, passengers cannot identify the risk.

[0004] Currently, a step missing detection device is generally set in the non-working section. To ensure that the device can stop running before moving to the working section from the missing position after detecting the step missing, the detection device is usually installed in the non-working section and the distance to the working section is not less than the maximum value specified in Table 5 of GB16899-2011.

[0005] The patent specification CN210001402U detects the missing situation of the moving walkway steps by setting two detection sensors at different positions, i.e. setting a first sensor under the standing steps and a second detection sensor before the steps are flipped to the working section. The main disadvantage of the scheme of the utility model specification is that after the first sensor detects the step missing signal and issues an immediate stop command for the moving walkway, to ensure the safety of the passengers standing on the moving walkway transport steps, GB16899-2011 Table 5 specifies the stopping distance. After the moving walkway decelerates from the working speed to zero speed and stops in this distance, the missing position detected by the first detection sensor will continue to move forward, and the missing position will move from under the comb plate to the passenger standing area. At this time, the passengers entering the moving walkway standing area from the comb plate still have the risk of falling from the missing position.

[0006] The patent specification CN104817007A sets a pedal abnormality detection device near the reversing part of the pedal, and when the absence of the pedal is detected in the maintenance mode, the running speed of the pedal is switched to the low-speed side, prompting the maintenance personnel to realize that the pedal has been removed. The main disadvantage is that the position of the pedal abnormality detection device is similar to the second detection sensor of the patent specification CN210001402U, and the section from the entrance to the pedal abnormality detection device is a detection blind area. Even if the absence of the pedal is detected and the running speed of the moving sidewalk is switched to a lower maintenance mode speed, if the maintenance personnel fail to realize this change, there may be a risk that the maintenance personnel may enter the passenger standing area from the entrance position while the missing pedal continues to move forward from the entrance position to the passenger standing area, and at this time, the standing area has no pedal to support the maintenance personnel who are unaware of the risk, and the maintenance personnel may be at risk of injury. SUMMARY

The first pedal absence detection sensor in the first and second pedal absence detection devices is installed on the non-working section and is spaced apart from the second pedal absence detection sensor by a distance greater than the maximum value specified in Table 5 of GB 16899-2011. When the first pedal absence detection sensor in the first pedal absence detection device detects a pedal absence position of the moving sidewalk moving from the first running direction by the non-working section, a stop command is issued. When the first pedal absence detection sensor in the second pedal absence detection device detects a pedal absence position of the moving sidewalk moving from the second running direction by the non-working section, a stop command is issued. When the second pedal absence detection sensor in the first pedal absence detection device detects a pedal absence position occurring between the first and second pedal absence detection sensors and moving from the first running direction, a stop command is issued. When the second pedal absence detection sensor in the second pedal absence detection device detects a pedal absence position occurring between the first and second pedal absence detection sensors and moving from the second running direction, a stop command is issued.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The pedal absence passenger protection device of the present application is applicable to moving sidewalks, which include an upper frame 8 and a lower frame 9, and the main function of which is to provide support for the synchronous conveying devices 1a, 1b.

[0051] Each moving sidewalk is provided with two sets of synchronous conveying devices, i.e., synchronous conveying devices 1a, 1b, which are installed in the upper frame 8 and the lower frame 9, respectively.

[0052] The pedal chain 7 provides driving force for the synchronous conveying device 1a, 1b, and drives the synchronous conveying device 1a, 1b to move at the same speed in the same direction as the treadle 41a, 41b of the moving walkway.

[0053] The pedal absence detection device 2a, 2b includes two sensors, the first pedal absence detection sensor 38a, 38b is installed below the non-working section, and the size of the second pedal absence detection sensor 39a, 39b is greater than the maximum value specified in Table 5 of GB16899-2011. The first pedal absence detection sensor 38a, 38b and the second pedal absence detection sensor 39a, 39b are both installed directly below the comb plate 40a, 40b, i.e. directly below the first treadle 41a, 41b moving from the non-working section to the working section. When the first pedal absence detection sensor 38a, 38b detects the absence of a treadle moving from the running direction at the missing position, the moving walkway receives an immediate stop command generated by the first pedal absence detection sensor 38a, 38b and stops running before the missing position moves to the working section of the moving walkway.

[0054] When the missing position of the treadle occurs between the first pedal absence detection sensor 38a, 38b and the second pedal absence detection sensor 39a, 39b, the second pedal absence detection sensor 39a, 39b generates an immediate stop command when the missing position moves to the second pedal absence detection sensor 39a, 39b. The moving walkway starts to stop and decelerate after the stop command, and the missing position of the treadle continues to move forward from directly below the comb plate 40a, 40b to the working section of the moving walkway during the deceleration and stopping process. At this time, the passengers who have just entered the moving walkway from the comb plate 40a, 40b are provided with a standing area by the synchronous conveying belt 6a, 6b in the synchronous conveying device 1a, 1b, and the synchronous conveying belt 6a, 6b provides the passengers with a standing area while the moving walkway is running synchronously at a deceleration, and continues to provide the passengers with a standing area before the moving walkway stops running.

[0055] The synchronous conveying device 1a, 1b installed in the upper frame 8 and the lower frame 9 is a single-direction running, the synchronous conveying device 1a installed in the upper frame 8 has the same working direction as the downward running direction of the moving walkway, and the synchronous conveying device 1b installed in the lower frame 9 has the same working direction as the upward running direction of the moving walkway. The synchronous conveying device 1a, 1b uses an overrunning clutch 14a, 14b to realize single-direction running.

[0056] The synchronous conveying device 1a, 1b comprises a synchronous driving wheel set 3a, 3b, a synchronous driven wheel set 4a, 4b, a synchronous tension wheel set 5a, 5b, and a synchronous conveying belt 6a, 6b. The synchronous driving wheel set 3a, 3b serves as the power source of the synchronous conveying device 1a, 1b, and drives the synchronous conveying belt 6a, 6b to run. The synchronous driven wheel set 4a, 4b and the synchronous tension wheel set 5a, 5b are located at both ends of the synchronous conveying belt 6a, 6b that provides a standing area for passengers, and provide support and tensioning effect for the synchronous conveying belt 6a, 6b. The synchronous conveying belt 6a, 6b is wrapped around the synchronous driving wheel set 3a, 3b, the synchronous driven wheel set 4a, 4b, and the synchronous tension wheel set 5a, 5b.

[0057] The running speed of the synchronous conveying belt 6a, 6b is the same as that of the tread plate 41a, 41b, and the length L of the passenger standing section of the synchronous conveying belt 6a, 6b needs to be not less than the maximum value specified in Table 5 of GB 16899-2011; the design running speed of the synchronous conveying belt 6a, 6b can be higher than that of the tread plate 41a, 41b, and the allowed speed increase value is within 10%, and in this case, the length L of the passenger standing section of the synchronous conveying belt 6a, 6b needs to include the increment caused by the speed increase.

[0058] The support plate 10a, 10b is arranged below the passenger standing section of the synchronous conveying belt 6a, 6b, and when there is no passenger standing on the synchronous conveying belt 6a, 6b, the support plate 10a, 10b maintains a small gap with the synchronous conveying belt 6a, 6b to realize a non-contact state, and at the same time, the synchronous conveying belt 6a, 6b also maintains a small gap with the tread plate 41a, 41b to realize a non-contact state; when a passenger stands on the synchronous conveying belt 6a, 6b, the support plate 10a, 10b supports the synchronous conveying belt 6a, 6b.

[0059] The pedal chain sprocket 16a, 16b in the synchronous drive wheel set 3a, 3b meshes with the pedal chain 7, is driven to rotate by the pedal chain 7, and drives the outer ring of the overrunning clutch 14a, 14b to rotate synchronously. When the moving sidewalk is running upward, only the overrunning clutch 14a, 14b in the lower frame 9 is in the working direction, and at this time, the overrunning clutch 14a, 14b in the upper frame 8 is in the overrunning direction, i.e. only the lower overrunning clutch 14a, 14b drives the lower conveyor belt drive wheel 12 through the drive shaft 11, and the lower synchronous conveyor belt 6b is driven to run in the same direction as the moving sidewalk pedal by the lower conveyor belt drive wheel 12. When the moving sidewalk is running downward, only the overrunning clutch 14a, 14b in the upper frame 8 is in the working direction, and at this time, the overrunning clutch 14a, 14b in the lower frame 9 is in the overrunning direction, i.e. only the upper overrunning clutch 14a, 14b drives the upper conveyor belt drive wheel 12 through the drive shaft 11, and the upper synchronous conveyor belt 6a is driven to run in the same direction as the moving sidewalk pedal by the upper conveyor belt drive wheel 12.

[0060] The width of the synchronous conveyor belt 6a, 6b is the same as the width of the moving sidewalk pedal 41a, 41b, and the slip-resistant surface of the synchronous conveyor belt 6a, 6b is treated according to the processing method required to meet the requirements of GB16899-2011 Table J.1.
