The device is installed at the entrance of the escalator handrail at the turning end of the handrail. An outer cover is provided on the ground below the entrance of the handrail at the turning end of the handrail. The safety device includes a device body, a fixing member for fixing the device body to the outer cover, and a sensing component provided on the device body. The sensing component senses foreign objects caught between the turning end of the handrail and the outer cover. The device body is communicatively connected to the control system of the escalator so that when the sensing component senses foreign objects caught between the turning end of the handrail and the outer cover, the information is fed back to the control system of the escalator to achieve braking. An anti-misoperation component is provided in front of the device body to prevent the sensing component from malfunctioning. When the sensing component senses foreign objects caught between the turning end of the handrail and the outer cover, the information can be fed back to the control system of the escalator to achieve braking, which can effectively prevent accidents.

[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory and should not have any limiting effect on the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] like Figure 1-3 shows: an anti-squeezing safety device for an escalator, comprising a safety device body 3, the safety device body 3 being installed at the entrance of the turning end of the handrail, the safety device body 3 comprising a mounting frame 4, the upper and lower sides of the mounting frame 4 being respectively tied with one end of a suspension rope 5 and an elastic pull rope 6, the other end of the suspension rope 5 being tied with the top of a sensing mechanism 7, the other end of the elastic pull rope 6 being tied with the bottom of the sensing mechanism 7, the sensing mechanism 7 comprising a protective sleeve 71, the inner side of the protective sleeve 71 being hung with a tilt switch 73, the tilt switch 73 being electrically connected to the control system of the escalator, and the suspended sensing mechanism 7 can effectively avoid contact with water and small debris on the ground while playing a monitoring role, ensuring the stability of the induction; the elastic pull rope 6 can pull the induction mechanism 7 while driving the induction mechanism 7 to ensure the monitoring effect of the safety device body 3, thereby preventing the induction mechanism 7 from tilting and misreporting when it is accidentally hit by a smaller force. The protective sleeve 71 is a cylindrical structure with an opening at the bottom end. The tilt switch 73 is slidably inserted in the protective sleeve 71. The protective sleeve 71 can be sleeved on the outside of the tilt switch 73, effectively isolating and protecting the tilt switch 73 while ensuring the working reliability of the tilt switch 73. The top side of the protective sleeve 71 is provided with a sliding plug The through hole of the connecting bolt part 72 is installed, and the tilt switch 73 is hung on the connecting bolt part 72. The connecting bolt part 72 can be easily loaded and unloaded on the protective sleeve 71, so as to facilitate personnel to load and unload the tilt switch 73 in the protective sleeve 71. The bottom side of the protective sleeve 71 is provided with a through hole for sliding and inserting the connecting bolt part 2 74. One end of the elastic pull rope 6 is tied to the connecting bolt part 2 74. After the connecting bolt part 2 74 is removed from the protective sleeve 71, the operator can easily take out the tilt switch 73 from the bottom of the protective sleeve 71. The mounting frame 4 includes a connecting plate 41 and an end plate 42. The number of the end plates 42 is two. The end plates 42 and the connecting plate 41 are relatively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the connecting plate 41, and the end plates 42 and the connecting plate 41 form a channel steel structure. The lifting rope 5 and the elastic pull rope 6 are respectively connected to the upper and lower flanges of the mounting frame 4. The channel steel structure composed of the connecting plate 41 and the end plate 42 can stably fasten the connection sensing mechanism 7. The connecting plate 41 is provided with an adjustment groove 43 for sliding the plug-in bolt 44, and the end plate 42 is provided with a through hole for fitting the plug-in bolt 44. The bolt 44 can slide up and down in the adjustment groove 43, so that the top of the end plate 42 on the upper side of the connecting plate 41 is close to the handrail, so as to prevent foreign objects or limbs from being clamped between the mounting frame 4 and the handrail after a person is knocked down by the handrail.

[0030] The model of the tilt switch is: KBX-220.

[0031] The working principle of this technical solution is as follows: when installing the safety device body 3, the safety device body 3 is installed at the entrance of the turning end of the handrail and fixed according to actual needs, and the height of the mounting bracket 4 is adjusted according to the actual situation on site. Specifically, after loosening the bolt 44, the bolt 44 is made to slide up and down in the adjustment slot 43, so that the top of the end plate 42 on the upper side of the connecting plate 41 is close to the handrail, to prevent foreign objects or limbs from being clamped between the mounting bracket 4 and the handrail after the person is knocked down by the handrail; when the person is knocked down by the handrail and moves toward the direction of the safety device body 3, the person's limbs collide with the elastic pull rope 6 or the sensing mechanism 7, and the elastic pull rope 6 is elastically deformed by the limbs and also drives the sensing mechanism 7 to move, thereby causing the sensing mechanism 7 suspended on the suspension rope 5 to tilt. After the tilt switch 73 inside the protective sleeve 71 tilts, the information is fed back to the control system of the escalator to realize braking, ensuring safe use. After the danger is eliminated, the escalator will only run again when the maintenance personnel manually reset it.
