Detailed Implementation
[0022] This utility model discloses an escalator tread, which is described below with reference to a preferred embodiment (Embodiment 1), as shown in the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 7 The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below.
[0023] See attached diagram. Figures 1 to 7 , Figures 1 to 4 The escalator steps are shown from different perspectives. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The partial structure of the escalator steps is shown separately. Figure 7 An escalator including escalator steps is shown.
[0024] Example 1.
[0025] Preferably, the escalator tread includes a tread mechanism 100, a first rotating mechanism 200, and a second rotating mechanism 300, wherein:
[0026] The pedal mechanism 100 includes an integrally formed front plate 110, a top plate 120, and two side plates 130, which are adjacent to each other.
[0027] A front side plate joint 111 is provided between the front plate 110 and the side plate 130. The front side plate joint 111 is integrally formed with both the front plate 110 and the side plate 130. The second rotating mechanism 300 is internally connected to the front side plate joint 111 and rotatably connected to the front side plate joint 111 so that the second rotating mechanism 300 can be further externally connected to the guide rail system of the escalator 400.
[0028] The top plate 120 and the side plate 130 have a top-side plate joint 121, which is integrally formed with both the top plate 120 and the side plate 130. The first rotating mechanism 200 is internally connected to the top-side plate joint 121 and rotatably connected to it, so that the first rotating mechanism 200 can be further externally connected to the guide rail system of the escalator 400.
[0029] The front plate 110, top plate 120 and side plate 130 together form the pedal cavity 101, and the opening of the pedal cavity 101 faces away from the top plate 120 and the front plate 110.
[0030] The top plate 120 (upper surface) is provided with multiple top plate protrusions 122, which are integrally formed with the top plate 120, and there is a protrusion gap 123 between two adjacent top plate protrusions 122; thus forming an anti-slip concave-convex structure (a combination structure of top plate protrusions 122 and protrusion gaps 123) on the upper surface of the top plate 120.
[0031] The first rotating mechanism 200 includes a first rotating shaft sleeve 210 and a first rotating shaft 220. The first rotating shaft sleeve 210 is partially connected to the top side plate joint 121 and fixedly connected to the top side plate joint 121. The first rotating shaft sleeve 210 extends out from the top side plate joint 121, and the first rotating shaft 220 is connected to the first rotating shaft sleeve 210. The first rotating shaft 220 and the first rotating shaft sleeve 210 are rotatably connected.
[0032] The first rotating shaft 220 has a first rotating shaft extension 221 at the end away from the top side plate joint 121. The first rotating shaft extension 221 is integrally formed with the first rotating shaft 220, and the diameter of the first rotating shaft extension 221 is larger than the diameter of the first rotating shaft 220. This is so that the first rotating shaft 220 and the first rotating shaft extension 221 form a groove, thereby engaging with the guide rail system of the escalator 400.
[0033] The second rotating mechanism 300 includes a second rotating shaft sleeve 310 and a second rotating shaft 320. The second rotating shaft sleeve 310 is partially connected to and fixedly connected to the front side plate joint 111. The second rotating shaft sleeve 310 extends out from the front side plate joint 111. The second rotating shaft 320 is connected to the second rotating shaft sleeve 310. The second rotating shaft 320 is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft sleeve 310.
[0034] As a supplement, the overall concept of the escalator tread disclosed in this embodiment is described below: The tread cavity 101 with an opening facing a specific direction is formed by an integrally molded front plate 110, top plate 120 and side plate 130. The second rotation mechanism 300 and the first rotation mechanism 200 are integrated at the front side plate joint 111 and the top side plate joint 121, respectively, to achieve bidirectional rotational adaptation with the guide rail system of the escalator 400. The second rotation mechanism 300 cooperates with the second rotation shaft 320 through the embedded second rotation shaft sleeve 310, and the first rotation mechanism 200 cooperates with the first rotation shaft 220 through the embedded first rotation shaft sleeve 210. At the same time, the surface of the top plate 120 is designed with an integrally molded top plate protrusion 122 and the protrusion gap 123 to form an anti-slip structure, thereby taking into account structural strength, movement flexibility and use safety.
[0035] It is worth mentioning that the technical features such as the guide rail system of the escalator 400 involved in this utility model patent application should be regarded as prior art. The specific structure, working principle and possible control methods and spatial arrangement of these technical features can be adopted by conventional choices in the field and should not be regarded as the inventive point of this utility model patent. This utility model patent will not elaborate further.
[0036] For those skilled in the art, modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
