Escalators typically consist of a drive unit, tensioning device, guide rails, and electrical system. The drive unit, specifically the escalator shaft, usually refers to the main drive shaft and its associated support and transmission components. The main drive shaft, driven by a motor, moves the sprockets, thus propelling the escalator path. It simultaneously supports the entire weight of the escalator and withstands the inertial and impact forces generated by its movement.

[0003] Displacement may occur during the welding process of escalator shaft tubes, which may lead to a reduction in welding accuracy.

[0005] In actual implementation, the above technical solution uses a movable rod to position the shaft tube. However, the end of the movable rod is circular, resulting in a small contact area with the surface of the shaft tube. Since the shaft tube is cylindrical, it is prone to rotating on the positioning frame, which affects the welding accuracy of the shaft tube. Summary of the Invention

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0026] This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 4 An escalator shaft tube assembly and positioning device includes a positioning frame 1. The top of the positioning frame 1 is provided with four sets of positioning slots 2, and the positioning slots 2 are equipped with positioning clamping mechanisms 4 for clamping shaft tubes. Buffering mechanisms 5 are provided on both the left and right sides of the positioning frame 1, and a smoke absorption mechanism 3 is provided inside the positioning frame 1.

[0028] The positioning and clamping mechanism 4 includes a clamping screw 402 that passes through the inside of the positioning frame 1. The clamping screw 402 is threadedly connected to the positioning frame 1 by a nut. The end of the clamping screw 402 is connected to a clamping plate 403 by a bearing. A rubber pad 404 is elastically connected to the surface of the clamping plate 403.

[0029] A guide rod 407 is installed between the clamping plate 403 and the positioning groove 2, and the guide rod 407 passes through the interior of the positioning groove 2. A knob 401 is fixedly installed at one end of the clamping screw 402 that passes through the positioning frame 1. A telescopic rod 405 is fixedly connected between the clamping plate 403 and the rubber pad 404, and a support spring 406 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 405. The two ends of the support spring 406 are respectively fixed to the adjacent surfaces of the clamping plate 403 and the rubber pad 404.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the escalator shaft tube is placed inside the positioning groove 2 using a hoisting device. Rotating the knob 401 causes the clamping screw 402 to rotate, allowing its other end to penetrate the positioning groove 2 and move towards the escalator shaft tube. This causes the clamping plate 403 to move closer to the escalator shaft tube, and the guide rod 407 on the clamping plate 403 guides its movement until the rubber pad 404 on the clamping plate 403 is firmly against the escalator shaft tube. Rotating the clamping screw 402 then stops, at which point the telescopic rod 405 and the support spring 406 between the clamping plate 403 and the rubber pad 404 press inwards. The support spring 406 generates an outward thrust, which pushes the rubber pad 404 to press against the escalator shaft tube, positioning and clamping the escalator shaft tube. The surface of the rubber pad 404 has an arc-shaped structure that matches the shape of the escalator shaft tube, increasing the contact surface between the rubber pad 404 and the escalator shaft tube. It is worth noting that, in order to further improve the friction between the rubber pad 404 and the escalator shaft tube, anti-slip strips can be set on the surface of the rubber pad 404. By setting the clamping plate 403 and the rubber pad 404, which are adapted to the surface size and structure of the escalator shaft tube, the escalator shaft tube can be clamped and positioned, preventing the rotation of the escalator shaft tube from affecting the welding accuracy of the escalator shaft tube.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the flue gas absorption mechanism 3 includes an air intake impeller 304 installed inside the positioning frame 1, and the power output end of the servo motor 305 is fixedly connected to the middle of the air intake impeller 304. Air intake pipes 303 are provided on both the left and right sides of the positioning frame 1, and the bottom of the positioning frame 1 is a hollow structure. The end of the air intake pipe 303 is fixedly connected to a support plate 301, and the top of the support plate 301 is provided with multiple equally spaced and evenly distributed air intake holes 302.

[0032] The buffer mechanism 5 includes a limiting slider 501 fixed on the side of the support plate 301 near the positioning frame 1, and a limiting groove 502 is provided at the connection between the limiting slider 501 and the positioning frame 1. A shock-absorbing damping rod 503 is fixedly installed at the connection between the limiting slider 501 and the limiting groove 502, and a shock-absorbing spring 504 is sleeved on the outside of the shock-absorbing damping rod 503.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, when the escalator shaft tube is placed inside the positioning groove 2, the flanges at both ends can be located above the support plate 301. Under the action of gravity, the escalator shaft tube sinks into the positioning groove 2. At the same time, the flange pushes the support plate 301 to move downward. The support plate 301 slides inside the limiting slide groove 502 through the limiting slider 501. Meanwhile, the shock-absorbing damping rod 503 and the shock-absorbing spring 504 can play a certain buffering role on the impact force between the flange and the support plate 301. During welding, the servo motor 305 can be started, and the suction fan wheel 304 is driven to rotate through the power output end of the servo motor 305. At this time, the fumes generated during welding in the flange area can be sucked into the suction pipe 303 through the suction hole 302 and enter the hollow area of ​​the positioning frame 1 through the suction pipe 303 to achieve the absorption of welding fumes.

[0034] Working Principle: The escalator shaft tube is placed inside the positioning slot 2 by the hoisting equipment. Rotating the knob 401 causes the clamping screw 402 to rotate, allowing its other end to penetrate the positioning slot 2 and move closer to the escalator shaft tube. This moves the clamping plate 403 closer to the escalator shaft tube, and the guide rod 407 on the clamping plate 403 guides its movement until the rubber pad 404 on the clamping plate 403 is tightly pressed against the escalator shaft tube. Rotating the clamping screw 402 stops the movement. At this point, the telescopic rod 405 and the support spring 406 between the clamping plate 403 and the rubber pad 404 press inwards, while the support spring 406 generates an outward thrust, pushing the rubber pad 404 to press against the escalator shaft tube, thus positioning and clamping the escalator shaft tube. The surface of the rubber pad 404 has an arc-shaped structure and is flush with the escalator shaft tube. The tube shape is matched, increasing the contact surface between the rubber pad 404 and the escalator shaft tube. When the escalator shaft tube is placed inside the positioning groove 2, the flanges at both ends can be located above the support plate 301. Under the action of gravity, the escalator shaft tube sinks into the positioning groove 2. At the same time, the flange pushes the support plate 301 to move downward. The support plate 301 slides inside the limiting slide groove 502 through the limiting slider 501. Meanwhile, the shock-absorbing damping rod 503 and the shock-absorbing spring 504 can play a certain buffering role on the impact force between the flange and the support plate 301. During welding, the servo motor 305 can be started, and the suction fan wheel 304 is driven to rotate through the power output end of the servo motor 305. At this time, the fumes generated during welding in the flange area can be sucked into the suction pipe 303 through the suction hole 302 and enter the hollow area of ​​the positioning frame 1 through the suction pipe 303 to achieve the absorption of welding fumes.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
