AI Technical Summary
During the long-term high-intensity operation of heavy-load public transportation escalators, the main wheel of the rung will deform the structure due to uninterrupted compression, resulting in an increase in the jump amplitude of the rung, which poses a safety hazard to impact the comb teeth.

Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of escalators, in particular to a step main wheel limiting structure of a heavy-load public transportation type escalator. Background Art
[0002] The step main wheels are important load-bearing and moving parts in escalators. Each step has two main wheels, which are responsible for running along the guide rails and driving the steps to move, while the secondary wheels are fixed on the steps. All the steps run on the guide rails arranged according to a certain pattern. The steps on the upper branch of the escalator remain horizontal, while the steps on the lower branch can be upside down, realizing the circular motion of the escalator. During the long-term and high-intensity operation of heavy-load public transportation escalators, the step main wheels will continuously squeeze the surrounding structure, causing it to deform, making the gap at the top of the step main wheels larger, and in certain cases, the step jump amplitude becomes larger, posing a safety hazard of hitting the comb teeth.

[0022] As attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 The figure shows the step main wheel limiting structure of the heavy-duty public transportation escalator of the present invention, which includes an integrated side panel 1 installed in parallel and opposite to each other, a guide rail 2 is welded on the top of the integrated side panel 1, a plurality of escalator steps 3 are installed between the two integrated side panels 1, step main wheels 4 are installed at both ends of the escalator steps 3, the bottom of the step main wheels 4 is in contact with the guide rail 2, and a traction chain 5 hinged to the step main wheel 4 is installed on the outer side of the integrated side panel 1, and the traction chain 5 drives the step main wheel 4 to roll along the guide rail 2. A limiting rail 6 is installed above the step main wheel 4, a connecting plate 7 is welded between the guide rail 2 and the limiting rail 6, and a reinforcing plate 8 is welded on the outer side of the connecting plate 7. The connecting plate 7 is a C-shaped part, and the welding part of the reinforcing plate 8 matches the outer shape of the connecting plate 7 to ensure the rigidity of the connecting plate 7. The traction chain 5 is located on the inner side of the connecting plate 7 and is adapted to the shape of the connecting plate 7.
[0023] The minimum distance between the limit rail 6 and the step main wheel 4 is ≤1mm to prevent the escalator step 3 from jumping significantly. Figure 5 As shown, a support plate 9 perpendicular to the guide rail 2 is installed at the end of the limit rail 6, and a plurality of comb teeth 10 are evenly spaced and connected to the support plate 9. The gap between the comb teeth 10 and the escalator step 3 is 2-3mm, so that the escalator step 3 has a safe passing space.
[0024] The limit rail 6 is a flat steel. Figure 4 As shown, the guide rail 2 includes a bottom plate 21 and a side edge 22 perpendicular to the bottom plate 21 , and the side edge 22 is located outside the step main wheel 4 , so that the step main wheel 4 can move within a limited range to avoid derailment.
[0025] The main wheel limiting structure of the heavy-duty public transportation escalator step 3 of the present invention strengthens the structural rigidity design and is welded to the guide rail 2 as a whole through the connecting plate 7, thereby improving the stability of the limiting structure. The guide rail 2 is welded to the integrated side plate 1 as a whole, and the latter is reliably connected to the truss of the escalator. The limiting rail 6 is welded to the guide rail 2 as a whole through the three connecting plates 7, and is reliably fixed, so that the gap between the guide rail 2 and the limiting rail 6 of the step main wheel 4 is effectively controlled, so that the step main wheel 4 together with the escalator step 3 will not jump up more than 1mm in the horizontal working section, avoiding the possibility of collision with the comb teeth 10 on the support plate 9, and eliminating the potential safety hazards in the later operation process. When the escalator step 3 passes through the comb teeth 10, under normal circumstances, there is a gap of 2 to 3m between the upper surface of the escalator step 3 and the comb teeth 10, and there is sufficient passing space, which improves the safety of the step operation.
