Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-3 An escalator with automatic stopping includes a truss 3. A drive device 4, a step device, and a handrail device are mounted on the truss 3. The drive device 4 drives the step device to move. The step device includes a step chain mechanism 1 and a step plate mechanism mounted on the step chain mechanism 1. The step plate mechanism is known technology and will not be described in detail. The step chain mechanism 1 includes a chain plate assembly 100. The chain plate assembly 100 includes two opposing and connected chains. Each chain has several rollers 101 and several connecting shafts 102 spaced along its annular structure. One end of each connecting shaft 102 extends from the chain... A stop plate 103 extends from the plate assembly 100, and a connecting shaft 102 is provided on the portion extending from the plate assembly 100. The upper and lower ends of the stop plate 103 extend beyond the upper and lower edges of the plate assembly 100 and are provided with grooves 1030 facing opposite directions. At least one pair of telescopic blocking mechanisms 2 are provided on the truss 3. The two telescopic blocking mechanisms 2 in each pair are located at corresponding positions on both sides of the step chain mechanism 1. The telescopic blocking mechanism 2 has a telescopic rod 200, which is used to cooperate with the grooves 1030 on the step chain mechanism 1 to stop the escalator. The telescopic blocking mechanism 2 is preferably an electric cylinder, but electromagnetic push rods or the like can also be used.

[0026] The number of telescopic blocking mechanisms 2 and their installation position on the truss can be adjusted as needed.

Specifically, the longitudinal section of the connecting shaft 102 is rectangular, and the through holes on the chain for inserting the connecting shaft 102 are rectangular holes of corresponding shape and size, thus preventing the connecting shaft 102 from rotating. In addition, the connecting shaft 102 can also adopt irregular shapes such as hexagonal shafts and octagonal shafts.
