Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the elevator industry, and in particular to an escalator inclined handrail structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the wall panels in escalators are usually fixed by upper and lower supports, with reinforcing ribs in the middle to improve the deformation strength of the wall panels along the length direction. However, this method has the problem that the upper and lower spans of the wall panels are too large, resulting in low deformation strength in the direction perpendicular to the surface and in the vertical direction. In addition, this snap-fit ​​method cannot be pre-positioned, which causes installation inconvenience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an escalator inclined handrail structure with high connection strength and easy installation.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an escalator inclined handrail structure, comprising: a vertically arranged support rod bracket, a handrail panel assembly disposed on one side of the support rod bracket, and a handrail cover plate assembly connecting the upper ends of the handrail panel assembly and the support rod bracket. The handrail panel assembly includes a guardrail panel. A limiting plate is provided on the side of the guardrail panel facing the support rod bracket, and there is a gap between the lower end of the limiting plate and the guardrail panel. The handrail structure further includes: a transverse support plate installed on the support rod bracket and extending towards the guardrail panel. A limiting groove is formed on the upper end surface of the transverse support plate near the side of the guardrail panel. The limiting plate is inserted into the limiting groove from top to bottom, restricting the degree of freedom of the guardrail panel in the direction facing or away from the support rod bracket, preventing the transverse support plate from falling off, and providing transverse support for the guardrail panel, providing initial positioning for the guardrail panel, and facilitating installation. The support rod bracket is fixed to a truss.

[0005] In another embodiment, the handrail assembly further includes an upper retaining plate disposed on the upper end of the guardrail and disposed along its length; the handrail cover assembly has a downward-facing upper retaining groove, and the upper retaining plate is engaged in the upper retaining groove.

[0006] In another embodiment, the armrest cover assembly includes an upper armrest cover, a lower armrest cover disposed below the upper armrest cover, and an armrest support plate disposed on the upper surface of the upper armrest cover. The side plates of the upper armrest cover and the lower armrest cover extend downward and form the upper slot between them.

[0007] In another embodiment, the handrail cover assembly includes a first mounting tube fixed to the lower end face of the upper handrail cover, a first bolt with a screw head inserted into the first mounting tube and a threaded section extending out of the first mounting tube, and the threaded section of the first bolt passing through the lower handrail cover.

[0008] In another embodiment, the downwardly extending portion of the lower cover plate of the handrail is naturally inclined toward the downwardly extending portion of the upper cover plate of the handrail, and the minimum distance between the two is less than the width of the upper clamping plate. The upper clamping plate causes the downwardly extending portion of the lower cover plate of the handrail to undergo elastic deformation and is fixedly clamped in the upper clamping groove.

[0009] In another embodiment, the handrail cover assembly further includes a handrail base plate fixed to the top of the support rod bracket, and the handrail lower cover plate is fixedly connected to the handrail base plate by a first bolt.

[0010] In another embodiment, the handrail assembly further includes a lower retaining plate disposed on the lower end of the guardrail and disposed along its length; the escalator inclined handrail structure further includes a skirt plate assembly, on which a lower retaining groove is formed facing the handrail cover assembly.

[0011] In another embodiment, the apron assembly includes an outer apron and an inner apron that is closer to the strut bracket than the outer apron, with a lower groove formed between the outer apron and the inner apron.

[0012] In another embodiment, the apron assembly includes a clamping plate fixed above the inner apron panel. The clamping plate has a downwardly extending portion located within a lower clamping groove. The lower clamping plate is engaged between the outer apron panel and the clamping plate. The minimum distance between the outer apron panel and the clamping plate is less than the width of the lower clamping plate. The lower clamping plate causes the downwardly extending portion of the clamping plate to elastically deform and be fixedly engaged between the outer apron panel and the clamping plate.

[0013] In another embodiment, a second mounting tube is provided between the outer skirt panel and the inner skirt panel, the outer skirt panel and the second mounting tube are fixedly connected by a second bolt, and the inner skirt panel and the second mounting tube are fixedly connected by a third bolt.

[0014] In another embodiment, both the outer skirt panel and the inner skirt panel are arranged along the length of the truss, and both the outer skirt panel and the inner skirt panel are fixed to the truss.

[0015] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art: the limiting plate, the upper clamping plate, and the lower clamping plate are all located on the inner side of the wall panel, avoiding the top pressure marks seen on the front of the wall panel and ensuring the aesthetic effect. Moreover, the limiting plate, the upper clamping plate, and the lower clamping plate, as reinforcing ribs, can improve the strength of the wall panel. The cooperation between the transverse support plate and the limiting plate reduces the installation difficulty of the wall panel and further improves the strength of the wall panel.
