[0025] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 The utility model is described in further detail.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a new handrail drive device for an escalator includes a handrail belt 1 and a main drive assembly 2 built into the escalator. The handrail belt 1 is arranged on the glass 6 placed in the handrail. The escalator is also provided with a first driven drive assembly 3 and a second driven drive assembly 4. The main drive assembly 2 is in transmission connection with the first driven drive assembly 3. The first driven drive assembly 3 is in transmission connection with the second driven drive assembly 4. The second driven drive assembly 4 drives the handrail belt 1 to operate. While ensuring that the structure of the main drive mechanism remains unchanged, the present invention realizes the operation of the handrail belt 1 by providing the first driven drive assembly 3 and the second driven drive assembly 4. This reduces the construction difficulty and process, effectively improves work efficiency, reduces labor costs, and successfully transforms an escalator with offset glass into one with center glass.
[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, the main drive assembly 2 includes a main drive wheel 21 and a main drive chain 22; one end of the main drive chain 22 is transmission-connected to the main drive wheel 21, and the other end is transmission-connected to the first driven drive assembly 3.
[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first driven drive assembly 3 includes a first driven main wheel 31, a first driven secondary wheel 32, a first driven chain 33 and a first driven mounting plate 34; the first driven mounting plate 34 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the escalator; the first driven main wheel 31 and the first driven secondary wheel 32 are both rotatably mounted on the first driven mounting plate 34 through a first rotating shaft 35; the first driven main wheel 31 is transmission-connected to the main drive chain 22; one end of the first driven chain 33 is transmission-connected to the first driven secondary wheel 32, and the other end is transmission-connected to the second driven drive assembly 4.
[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second driven drive assembly 4 includes a second driven main wheel 41, a second driven secondary wheel 42, a second driven belt 43 and a second driven mounting plate 44; the second driven mounting plate 44 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the escalator; the second driven main wheel 41 is rotatably mounted on the first driven mounting plate 34 through a second driven main shaft 46; the second driven secondary wheel 42 is rotatably mounted on the second driven mounting plate 44 through a second driven secondary shaft 45; one end of the second driven main wheel 41 is transmission-connected to the first driven chain 33, and the other end is transmission-connected to one end of the second driven belt 43; the other end of the second driven belt 43 is transmission-connected to the second driven secondary wheel 42; the second driven main wheel 41 and the second driven secondary wheel 42 are respectively abutted against the transmission groove 11 of the handrail belt 1, and one side of the second driven belt 43 is tightly attached to the transmission groove 11.
[0030] It should be noted that when the handrail belt 1 needs to operate normally, the main driving wheel 21 works and drives the first driven main wheel 31 to rotate through the main driving chain 22. After the first driven main wheel 31 rotates, it drives the coaxially arranged first driven secondary wheel 32 to rotate, and the first driven secondary wheel 32 transmits power to the second driven main wheel 41 through the first driven chain 33. After the second driven main wheel 41 obtains power, it drives the second driven secondary wheel 42 through the second driven belt 43; since the first driven secondary wheel 32 and the second driven main wheel 41 are in contact with the handrail belt 1, and a large part of the second driven belt 43 is attached to the transmission groove 11 of the handrail belt 1, the drive of the handrail belt 1 is realized, so that the handrail belt 1 can operate stably.
[0031] Specifically, this embodiment also includes a pre-tightening assembly 5; the pre-tightening assembly 5 includes a pre-tightening adjustment plate 51, a pre-tightening adjustment bolt 52, a pre-tightening mounting plate 53, a pre-tightening spring 54, a pre-tightening nut 55, a pre-tightening screw 56 and a pre-tightening mounting arm 57; the second driven secondary wheel 42 is rotatably mounted between the pre-tightening adjustment plate 51 and the pre-tightening mounting arm 57 through the second driven secondary shaft 45; the pre-tightening adjustment plate 51 is adjustably mounted on the second driven mounting plate 44 through the pre-tightening adjustment bolt 52; the pre-tightening mounting plate 53 is vertically mounted on the second driven mounting plate 44; one end of the pre-tightening screw 56 is connected to the pre-tightening mounting arm 57, and the other end passes through the pre-tightening mounting plate 53 and the pre-tightening spring 54 in sequence; one end of the pre-tightening spring 54 abuts against the pre-tightening mounting plate 53, and the other end is positioned on the pre-tightening screw 56 through the pre-tightening nut 55 and the gasket 58. It should be noted that, when it is necessary to adjust the tension of the second driven belt 43 between the second driven main wheel 41 and the second driven auxiliary wheel 42 so that the second driven main wheel 41 and the second driven auxiliary wheel 42 are tightly attached to the handrail belt 1, first loosen the preload adjustment bolt 52, adjust the installation position of the preload adjustment plate 51 on the second driven mounting plate 44, and then screw the preload nut 55 on the preload screw 56 to compress or stretch the preload spring 54, thereby adjusting the setting position of the preload mounting arm 57, and then adjust the position of the second driven auxiliary wheel 42 against the handrail belt 1, and finally adjust the tension of the second driven belt 43, so that the second driven belt 43 can better fit on the transmission groove 11 of the handrail belt 1 to adapt to different types of handrail belts 1, thereby ensuring that the handrail belt 1 can operate stably.
[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the preload adjustment plate 51 is provided with an adjustment slot 511; the preload adjustment bolt 52 passes through the adjustment slot 511, thereby adjustably mounting the preload adjustment plate 51 on the second driven mounting plate 44. It should be noted that the provision of the adjustment slot 511 facilitates adjustment of the mounting position of the preload adjustment plate 51, and thus the position of the second driven pulley 42, to accommodate different types of handrails 1, further improving the efficiency of retrofitting old elevators.
[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the handrail belt 1 is mounted on the escalator in an arc shape via a handrail guide rail 12; one end of the handrail guide rail 12 is fixed to the first driven mounting plate 34, and the other end is fixed to the second driven mounting plate 44. It should be noted that a portion of the handrail belt 1 forms an arc through the handrail guide rail 12. This arc allows the handrail belt 1 to better fit with the second driven belt 43, increasing friction between the two and further improving the transmission efficiency between the second driven belt 43 and the handrail belt 1.

Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the embodiments of the present invention.
