In addition, the utility model provides various specific examples of processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art may be aware of the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0030] In the related art, the handrail of the escalator is easy to be caught by foreign objects at the entrance, damaging the device inside the escalator, causing elevator failure, or causing people's hands to be caught in the escalator along with the handrail, posing a safety hazard to passengers and easily causing accidents.

[0031] See also Figures 1 to 3 The entrance device 10 of the embodiment of the utility model is used for an escalator 100 , and the entrance device 10 includes a mounting plate 12 , a trigger plate 14 and a switch 16 .

[0032] The trigger plate 14 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 12 . The trigger plate 14 is provided with an entrance for the handrail 11 of the escalator 100 to pass through. The trigger plate 14 is configured to trigger the switch 16 when moving to stop the escalator 100 .

[0033] The entrance device 10 is installed at the entrance of the handrail 11 of the escalator 100. When a foreign object is involved, the switch 16 can be sensitively triggered to stop the escalator 100, thereby ensuring the safety of the operation and use of the escalator 100.

[0034] Specifically, the entrance device 10 is installed in the side panel below the handrail 11 of the escalator 100. The trigger plate 14 of the entrance device 10 is provided with an entrance for the handrail 11 of the escalator 100 to pass through. When the handrail 11 passes through the entrance, foreign objects may be involved. In the case of foreign objects being involved, the foreign objects are stuck at the entrance and push the trigger plate 14 inward. After the trigger plate 14 moves, the switch 16 is triggered to stop the escalator 100. In this way, foreign objects can be prevented from entering the escalator with the handrail 11 and causing damage to the internal devices. At the same time, if the hands or feet of the passengers are accidentally involved, the trigger plate 14 can be pushed inward to trigger the switch 16 in time to stop the escalator 100 and reduce the damage to the passengers.

[0035] In some embodiments, the trigger plate 14 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 12 .

[0036] In this way, the trigger plate 14 can be movably mounted on the mounting plate 12 , and the switch 16 can be movably triggered by the trigger plate 14 to stop the escalator 100 .

[0037] Specifically, the trigger plate 14 can be movably mounted on the mounting plate 12 , and the trigger plate 14 can rotate relative to the mounting plate 12 to trigger the switch 16 to stop the escalator 100 .

[0038] Optionally, the trigger plate 14 and the mounting plate 12 may be rotatably connected, and the trigger plate 14 triggers the switch 16 by rotating the preset stroke. The preset stroke may be set by setting the rotation angle of the trigger plate 14. For example, the trigger plate 14 is set to rotate 5° to trigger the switch 16, or the trigger plate 14 is set to rotate 10° to trigger the switch 16. The preset stroke is related to the sensitivity of the switch 16, and the preset stroke may be set according to actual conditions.

[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the initial state of the trigger plate 14 of the inlet device 10 is shown. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the triggering state of the trigger plate 14 of the inlet device 10 is shown.

[0040] The trigger plate 14 and the mounting plate 12 can be mounted on a rotating shaft, and the trigger plate 14 and the mounting plate 12 are respectively sleeved on the rotating shaft, so that the trigger plate 14 can rotate relative to the mounting plate 12 .

[0041] In some embodiments, the inlet device 10 also includes a connecting member 17, which includes a rotating member 20 and a reset member 18. The rotating member 20 can rotatably connect the trigger plate 14 and the mounting plate 12, and the reset member 18 resists the trigger plate 14 so that the trigger plate 14 has a movement tendency in the opposite direction of the trigger switch 16.

[0042] In this way, the trigger plate 14 can be prevented from being accidentally touched, and the trigger plate 14 can be reset at the same time.

[0043] Specifically, the connecting member 17 includes a rotating member 20 and a resetting member 18 . The rotating member 20 is rotatably connected to the trigger plate 14 and the mounting plate 12 , so that the trigger plate 14 can rotate relative to the mounting plate 12 .

[0044] The reset member 18 abuts against the trigger plate 14, and the force exerted by the reset member 18 on the trigger plate 14 is opposite to the direction in which the trigger plate 14 triggers the switch 16. After overcoming the force exerted by the reset member 18, the trigger plate 14 can move the trigger switch 16. Thus, the reset member 18 can prevent the escalator 100 from stopping due to the accidental touching of the trigger plate 14.

[0045] In addition, the reset member 18 can also reset the trigger plate 14 after the trigger plate 14 triggers the switch 16, so that the trigger plate 14 can be restored to its initial state and the safety monitoring function can be maintained when the elevator resumes operation.

[0046] It should be noted that when the trigger plate 14 triggers the switch 16, it may be due to a foreign object stuck at the entrance. At this time, the trigger plate 14 is pushed in the direction of the switch 16 by an external force, causing the trigger plate 14 to trigger the switch 16. At this time, the reset member 18 cannot reset the trigger plate 14. The reset member 18 can only reset the trigger plate 14 after the external force is eliminated (the foreign object stuck at the entrance is cleared).

[0047] Optionally, the reset element 18 may also include other elastic reset elements such as a spring and a spring.

[0048] Optionally, the reset member 18 may also be electrically, pneumatically or hydraulically driven, and the trigger plate 14 may move the trigger switch 16 after overcoming the force of the reset member 18. After the trigger switch 16 is triggered, the trigger plate 14 may return to its initial state under the force of the reset member 18 if there is no external force.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the direction in which the trigger plate 14 triggers the switch 16 is the rear, and the direction opposite to the trigger switch 16 is the front.

[0050] In some embodiments, the trigger plate 14 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 12 via a rotating member 20. The rotating member 20 includes a first connecting plate 22, a second connecting plate 23 and a rotating shaft 24. The first connecting plate 22 and the second connecting plate 23 are sleeved on the rotating shaft 24 to achieve relative rotation. The first connecting plate 22 is fixedly connected to the trigger plate 14, and the second connecting plate 23 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 12.

[0051] In this way, the trigger plate 14 and the mounting plate 12 can be rotatably connected via the rotating member 20 .

[0052] Specifically, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the rotating member 20 includes a first connecting plate 22, a second connecting plate 23 and a rotating shaft 24. The first connecting plate 22 and the second connecting plate 23 are sleeved on the rotating shaft 24. The first connecting plate 22 is fixedly connected to the trigger plate 14, and the second connecting plate 23 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 12, so that the trigger plate 14 and the mounting plate 12 can rotate relative to each other.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first connecting plate 22 defines a first through hole 30 , and the trigger plate 14 includes a fixing column 34 , which passes through the first through hole 30 to fix the trigger plate 14 to the rotating member 20 .

[0054] In this way, the rotating member 20 is installed on the trigger plate 14 through the first through hole 30 on the first connecting plate 22 and the fixing column 34 on the trigger plate 14, so as to achieve rapid positioning and installation.

[0055] Specifically, Figure 6 As shown, a fixing column 34 is provided on the trigger plate 14. When the rotating member 20 is installed with the trigger plate 14, the first through hole 30 is aligned with the fixing column 34 and the first connecting plate 22 is fixedly connected with the trigger plate 14, so that the trigger plate 14 and the first connecting plate 22 can be fixedly installed. The fixing column 34 can play a role in positioning and fixing. Through the cooperation of the positioning column and the first through hole 30, the first connecting plate 22 and the trigger plate 14 can be quickly positioned and installed.

[0056] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, the fixing column 34 is a threaded column. After the first through hole 30 of the first connecting plate 22 passes through the fixing column 34, it is locked by a nut, so that the trigger plate 14 and the first connecting plate 22 can be fixedly installed.

[0057] Optionally, the first connecting plate 22 and the trigger plate 14 can be positioned through the first through hole 30 and the fixing column 34 and fixedly connected by gluing or welding.

[0058] In some embodiments, the second connecting plate 23 defines a second through hole 36 , and the second connecting plate 23 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 12 via a fastener 38 passing through the second through hole 36 .

[0059] In this way, the rotating member 20 can be fixedly connected to the mounting plate 12 via the fastener 38 .

[0060] Specifically, Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the second connecting plate 23 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 12 by passing the second through hole 36 through the fastener 38. In the illustrated embodiment, the mounting plate 12 has a connecting hole. When the second connecting plate 23 is fixedly installed with the mounting plate 12, the second through hole 36 is aligned with the connecting hole. The countersunk rivet passes through the connecting hole and the second through hole 36 from one side of the mounting plate 12, and is fastened with a nut on one side of the second connecting plate 23. In this way, the surface of the mounting plate 12 is smooth and complete, and more beautiful. At the same time, the screw and the nut cooperate to make the connection between the rotating member 20 and the mounting plate 12 stable and highly reliable.

[0061] In some embodiments, the connection member 17 comprises a spring hinge.

[0062] In this way, by installing the spring hinge, the rotation and reset functions of the trigger plate 14 can be realized.

[0063] Specifically, the hinge is a rotating part 20, which can realize the relative rotation of the trigger plate 14 and the mounting plate 12. The spring is a reset part 18. The spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft of the hinge. The two ends of the spring respectively contact the two leaves of the hinge, which can realize that the trigger plate 14 has a movement tendency in the opposite direction to the trigger switch 16.

[0064] like Figure 6 As shown, the spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft 24 of the rotating member 20, and the two ends of the spring respectively abut against the surfaces of the first connecting plate 22 and the second connecting plate 23. The ends of the spring abut against the first rotating member 20 and the second rotating member 20 in the opposite direction of the trigger switch 16. When an external force acts on the trigger plate 14 toward the direction of the switch 16, the force of the spring needs to be overcome before the trigger switch 16 can be rotated.

[0065] The trigger plate 14 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 12, and the trigger plate 14 needs to rotate a preset stroke before the switch 16 can be triggered. In the case of a reset member 18, the sensitivity of the trigger plate 14 is also related to the force of the reset member 18. For example, if the reset member 18 is a spring, the sensitivity of the trigger plate 14 is related to the elastic force of the spring.

[0066] In some embodiments, the entrance device 10 further includes a switch bracket 40 , which is mounted on the skirt board of the escalator 100 , and the switch 16 is mounted on the switch bracket 40 , and the switch bracket 40 is used to adjust the distance between the switch 16 and the trigger plate 14 .

[0067] In this way, the distance between the switch 16 and the trigger plate 14 can be adjusted by the switch bracket 40 , so that the sensitivity of the trigger plate 14 triggering the switch 16 can be adjusted.

[0068] Specifically, the switch 16 is mounted on a switch bracket 40 , and the switch bracket 40 is mounted on the skirt board of the escalator 100 . The distance between the switch 16 and the trigger plate 14 is adjusted through the switch bracket 40 , so that the sensitivity of the trigger plate 14 triggering the switch 16 can be adjusted.

[0069] Furthermore, the entrance device 10 is installed in the side panel of the handrail 11 of the escalator 100, and the switch bracket 40 is installed on the side of the mounting plate 12, which can save space for installing and arranging various device components.

[0070] In some embodiments, the entrance device 10 further includes a detection device 42 , which is mounted on the mounting plate 12 , and is used to detect when a passenger approaches the escalator 100 and start the escalator 100 .

[0071] In this way, the monitoring function can be realized.

[0072] Specifically, Figure 2As shown, a detection device 42 is installed on the entrance device 10, and the detection device 42 can be electrically connected to the controller. When the detection device 42 detects that a pedestrian is approaching the escalator 100, the escalator is started, which can save electricity and extend the service life of the escalator 100.

[0073] Optionally, the mounting plate 12 is provided with a mounting hole, and the detection device 42 is mounted on the mounting plate 12 through the mounting hole.

[0074] Optionally, the detection device 42 may include a radar, an infrared detector, and sensors with various functions.

[0075] In some embodiments, the inlet device 10 includes a flexible protective member 44 disposed at the periphery of the inlet.

[0076] In this way, the entrance can be protected to a certain extent to prevent foreign objects from entering the entrance.

[0077] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the flexible protective member 44 can block human hands or other foreign objects outside the entrance, effectively preventing the foreign objects from being rolled into the entrance along with the handrail 11.

[0078] Optionally, the flexible protective member 44 includes a brush, the bristles of which are relatively hard, and when a person touches the brush, the person will retract the hand due to conditioned reflex, thereby reducing the risk of the hand being rolled into the entrance along with the handrail 11. In addition, the brush can also prevent other foreign objects from entering the entrance, thus having a certain protective effect on the entrance.

[0079] In the illustrated embodiment, the brush includes a brush head and a fixing portion, the fixing portion and the brush head bracket form a slot, and the trigger plate 14 is clamped therein to fix the brush head at the entrance. The fixing portion is provided with a positioning hole, and the trigger plate 14 is provided with a positioning column. When installing, the positioning column is aligned and inserted into the positioning hole, and the trigger plate 14 can be clamped between the brush head and the fixing portion to complete the installation of the brush.

[0080] In certain embodiments, the inlet device 10 includes a base 46 and a mounting bracket 48 that connects the mounting plate 12 to the base 46 .

[0081] In this way, the mounting plate 12 and the base 46 can be fixedly connected.

[0082] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the mounting bracket 48 is L-shaped, with one side connected to the mounting plate 12 and the other side connected to the base 46 , so as to fix the mounting plate 12 on the base 46 , thereby saving the installation space of the inlet device 10 .

[0083] Optionally, the base 46 and the mounting bracket 48 may be integrally provided, thus reducing subsequent installation steps.

[0084] Optionally, the mounting plate 12 , the base 46 and the mounting bracket 48 may be connected by welding, gluing or using fasteners 38 .

[0085] In summary, the handrail 11 installed at the entrance of the escalator 100 can sensitively trigger the switch 16 when a foreign object is involved, so that the escalator 100 stops running, and the trigger plate 14 can be reset by preventing accidental touch, thereby ensuring the safety of the operation and use of the escalator 100. At the same time, the entrance device 10 has a simple structure and is easy to install and maintain.

[0086] See also Figure 1 An escalator 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes the entrance device 10 of any one of the above embodiments.

[0087] The escalator 100 is installed at the entrance of the handrail 11 of the escalator 100. When a foreign object is involved, the switch 16 can be sensitively triggered to stop the escalator 100, thereby ensuring the safety of the operation and use of the escalator 100.

[0088] Specifically, the entrance device 10 is installed at the entrance of the handrail 11 of the escalator 100. It can be understood that the entrance of the handrail 11 is only one end of the handrail 11 entering the inner side panel of the escalator 100. The entrance device 10 can be installed only at the entrance end of the handrail 11, or the entrance device 10 can be installed at the entrance and exit of the handrail 11, so that when the escalator changes direction, the positions of the entrance and exit are exchanged, and the entrance device 10 can always remain in effect.

[0089] It should be noted that the above explanations of the implementation and beneficial effects of the entrance device 10 are also applicable to the escalator 100 of the implementation of the present application, and will not be elaborated here in detail to avoid redundancy.
