Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of protective cover technology, specifically a protective cover for an escalator emergency stop button. Background Technology

[0002] If the emergency stop button is directly exposed during escalator operation, it is easily accidentally pressed by passengers, causing the escalator to stop suddenly. This can not only cause passengers to lose their balance and fall, but also potentially lead to a chain reaction of collisions with subsequent passengers. Installing a protective cover effectively reduces the risk of such accidental operation, ensuring the smooth operation of the escalator. Furthermore, the constant exposure of the emergency stop button makes it susceptible to dust, moisture, and corrosive substances, affecting its normal performance. The protective cover forms a physical barrier, isolating these adverse factors and ensuring the button functions properly in critical moments, extending the equipment's lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.

[0003] When installing a protective cover on an escalator emergency stop button, a magnet is used to fix it to the button using the magnetic force. However, with prolonged use, the magnet's magnetism weakens, and accidental touch by a passenger may cause the protective cover to detach, exposing the button and potentially leading to unintentional contact and a safety hazard. Therefore, this application proposes a protective cover for an escalator emergency stop button. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a protective cover for the emergency stop button of an escalator, which effectively solves the problem of the button protective cover being easy to fall off.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an escalator emergency stop button protective cover, comprising an escalator and a protective mechanism, wherein side rails are fixedly installed on both sides of the escalator, and a support column is fixedly installed at the bottom of the side rails; the protective mechanism includes a fixing mechanism installed inside the side rails, a protective cover installed at the upper end of the side rails, the side rails being fixedly connected to the protective cover through the fixing mechanism, a fixing block being fixedly installed on the protective cover to slide against the side rails, a first sliding groove being provided on the side rails, a limit bolt being slidably connected in the first sliding groove, and a second sliding groove being provided on the side rails to slide against the limit bolt.

[0006] Preferably, the limiting bolt passes through the fixing block and is slidably disposed therewith, and a spring is fixedly installed on the limiting bolt and the fixing block.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes a T-shaped groove provided on the side guard, a T-shaped block slidably connected in the T-shaped groove, and the T-shaped block being fixedly connected to the protective cover.

[0008] Preferably, the side guard is provided with a groove opposite to the protective cover, an L-shaped plate is placed in the groove, and a button is fixedly installed on the upper end of the L-shaped plate.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Depend on Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model includes an escalator 2 and a safety mechanism. Side rails 3 are fixedly installed on both sides of the escalator 2, and a support column 1 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the side rails 3. The support column 1 can ensure the stability of the side rails 3, thereby ensuring the stability of the escalator 2.

[0024] The protective mechanism includes a fixing mechanism installed inside the side guard 3. The fixing mechanism includes a T-shaped groove 4 provided on the side guard 3. A T-shaped block 5 is slidably connected inside the T-shaped groove 4. The T-shaped block 5 is fixedly connected to the protective cover 7. The protective cover 7 is installed at the upper end of the side guard 3. The side guard 3 can be fixedly connected to the protective cover 7 through the fixing mechanism. The T-shaped block 5 slides against the inner wall of the T-shaped groove 4, which can ensure the stability of the T-shaped block 5 in the T-shaped groove 4, thereby ensuring the stability of the protective cover 7.

[0025] A fixing block 8 is fixedly installed on the protective cover 7 and slides against the side block 3. The side block 3 is provided with a first sliding groove 14. A limit bolt 12 is slidably connected in the first sliding groove 14. The limit bolt 12 passes through the fixing block 8 and is slidably set therewith. A spring 13 is fixedly installed on the limit bolt 12 and the fixing block 8. The side block 3 is provided with a second sliding groove 11 that can slide against the limit bolt 12. Pulling the limit bolt 12 can pull the limit bolt 12 out from the first sliding groove 14, and the protective cover 7 is no longer limited. The protective cover 7 can be moved. Pushing the protective cover 7 to move along the direction of the T-groove 4, the limit bolt 12 will move to be opposite to the second sliding groove 11. Releasing the limit bolt 12 will move the limit bolt 12 into the second sliding groove 11, thereby limiting the protective cover 7.

[0026] The side guard 3 is provided with a groove 10 opposite to the protective cover 7. An L-shaped plate 6 is placed in the groove 10. A button 9 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the L-shaped plate 6. Two connecting plates 19 are fixedly installed on the upper end of the L-shaped plate 6. A fixing rod 20 is fixedly connected to the two connecting plates 19. Two mounting plates 15 are fixedly installed on the protective cover 7. A connecting rod 16 is fixedly connected to the two mounting plates 15. A belt 17 is wound around the connecting rod 16 and the fixing rod 20. Two baffles 18 are fixedly installed in the groove 10. The L-shaped plate 6 is located between the two baffles 18 and slides against them.

[0027] Pushing the protective cover 7 along the direction of the T-slot 4 will cause the mounting plate 15 to move, which in turn will cause the connecting rod 16 to move. The connecting rod 16 will then cause the belt 17 to move, which in turn will cause the fixing rod 20 to move. The fixing rod 20 will then cause the connecting plate 19 to move, which in turn will cause the L-shaped plate 6 to move. Since the L-shaped plate 6 is located between the two baffles 18 and slides against them, it will move upward along the direction of the baffles 18. The L-shaped plate 6 will then cause the button 9 to move upward. Pressing the button 9 will stop the escalator 2 from working.

[0028] Working principle: When working, pulling the limit bolt 12 can pull the limit bolt 12 out from the first slide groove 14, and the protective cover 7 is no longer limited, so the protective cover 7 can move. Pushing the protective cover 7 to move along the direction of the T-slot 4 will cause the mounting plate 15 to move, the mounting plate 15 will cause the connecting rod 16 to move, the connecting rod 16 will cause the belt 17 to move, the belt 17 will cause the fixing rod 20 to move, the fixing rod 20 will cause the connecting plate 19 to move, thereby causing the L-shaped plate 6 to move. Since the L-shaped plate 6 is located between the two baffles 18 and slides against them, it will move upward along the direction of the baffles 18. The L-shaped plate 6 will cause the button 9 to move upward.

[0029] When the limit bolt 12 moves to be opposite the second slide rail 11, the limit bolt 12 is released and moves into the second slide rail 11, thereby limiting the protective cover 7. At this time, the mounting plate 15 and connecting rod 16, which are fixedly connected to the protective cover 7, are limited and stop moving. The belt 17 stops moving, thereby stopping the fixed rod 20 and connecting plate 19. This prevents the L-shaped plate 6 from moving and from moving downward when the button 9 is pressed, thus avoiding affecting the normal operation. After the limit is completed, pressing the button 9 can stop the escalator 2 from working.

[0030] The above technical solution only embodies the preferred technical solution of this utility model. Any changes that may be made by those skilled in the art to certain parts of it embody the principle of this utility model and fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
