[0002] Escalators and moving walkways are widely used in modern commercial buildings and transportation hubs, providing strong support for the rapid and convenient vertical or horizontal movement of large numbers of people. However, with the diversification of building space utilization, the continuous increase in passenger flow, and the ever-increasing requirements for operational safety and stability, the existing load-bearing structures of escalators and moving walkways have revealed many problems.

[0003] In terms of structural stability, some load-bearing structures perform poorly when dealing with large passenger flows. The connection between escalator frames lacks effective reinforcement measures. When a large number of pedestrians use it at the same time, the structure is prone to deformation, affecting the normal operation of escalators or moving walkways, and may even cause local structural damage, seriously endangering the lives of users. The bending and twisting of the escalator frame can also cause the steps and handrail to run asynchronously, resulting in the escalator or moving walkway running with jams and bumps, seriously affecting normal operating efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, a load-bearing structure for escalators or moving walkways is proposed to address the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] Preferably, threaded rods are symmetrically mounted on the surface of the support plate, and the threaded rods are inserted into slots opened on the surface of the escalator frame.

[0008] Preferably, one end of the threaded rod passes through the escalator frame and extends to the bottom of the escalator frame, and is threadedly connected to a nut located at the bottom of the escalator frame.

[0009] Preferably, the nut is attached to the bottom of the escalator frame.

[0010] Preferably, two sets of support plates are installed between the two escalator frames, and support columns are symmetrically installed on the surface of the support plates, with the support columns abutting against the load-bearing plates.

[0011] Preferably, the connection points between the X-support frame and the X-connecting plate and the escalator frame are provided with reinforcing ribs to enhance the stability of the overall structure.

[0012] Preferably, the upper surface of the support plate is provided with anti-slip texture, and the anti-slip texture is in the form of a diamond grid, which is used to increase the friction between pedestrians and the support plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model, through the combined use of structures such as escalator frame, X-bearing frame, X-connecting plate, bearing plate, support plate and support column, can effectively distribute and bear the weight of pedestrians or goods, enabling escalators or moving walkways to bear larger loads and meet the usage needs of different places;

[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. 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.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a load-bearing structure for escalators or moving walkways, including two escalator frames 1. Multiple X-bearing frames 2 are symmetrically installed on the surface of each escalator frame 1, and are evenly installed in the hollow positions of the escalator frames 1. Multiple X-connecting plates 3 are installed between the two escalator frames 1, and two sets of X-connecting plates 3 are symmetrically installed between the two escalator frames 1. A load-bearing plate 4 is attached to the top of each of the two escalator frames 1. The load-bearing plate 4 is made of steel and is attached to one set of X-connecting plates 3. This structure increases the load-bearing capacity of the escalator frames 1, preventing bending and twisting of the escalator frames 1 when a large number of pedestrians use the escalator simultaneously, thus avoiding the drawbacks of causing the escalator frames 1 or moving walkways to jam or bump, severely affecting normal operating efficiency.

[0024] Specifically, threaded rods 5 are symmetrically installed on the surface of the support plate 4. The threaded rods 5 are inserted into slots opened on the surface of the escalator frame 1, which can stably install the support plate 4.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, one end of the threaded rod 5 passes through the escalator frame 1 and extends to the bottom of the escalator frame 1, and is threadedly connected to the nut 6 set at the bottom of the escalator frame 1, so as to stabilize the position of the bearing plate 4 and prevent it from moving during use.

[0026] Furthermore, the nut 6 is attached to the bottom of the escalator frame 1, thereby securing the bearing plate 4.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, two sets of support plates 7 are installed between the two escalator frames 1, and support columns 8 are symmetrically installed on the surface of the support plates 7. The support columns 8 abut against the bearing plate 4, further supporting the bearing plate 4 and sharing the load on the bearing plate 4.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the connection points between the X-support frame 2 and the X-connecting plate 3 and the escalator frame 1 are provided with reinforcing ribs to enhance the stability of the overall structure.

[0029] It is worth emphasizing that the upper surface of the support plate 4 is provided with anti-slip texture, and this anti-slip texture is in the form of a diamond grid, which is used to increase the friction between pedestrians and the support plate 4.

[0030] Among them, the structure of the escalator frame 1 is existing technology and will not be described in detail. It is not the main technical point of this patent. Its working principle is a well-known technology. The appropriate model is selected according to actual use, so it will not be explained in detail.

[0031] Working principle and process: First, install two escalator frames 1. Then, symmetrically and evenly install multiple X-bearing frames 2 on the surface and hollow positions of the escalator frames 1 to enhance the structural strength and load-bearing capacity of the escalator frames 1. Install multiple sets of X-connecting plates 3 between the two escalator frames 1, and install them symmetrically to further connect and stabilize the two escalator frames 1, making the entire load-bearing structure a whole. Finally, attach the load-bearing plate 4 to the top of the two escalator frames 1. Since the load-bearing plate 4 is made of steel, it has high strength and stability and can bear the weight of pedestrians or goods. Meanwhile, the load-bearing plate 4 is attached to one of the X-connecting plates 3 to further strengthen the connection. Two sets of support plates 7 are installed between the two escalator frames 1, and support columns 8 are symmetrically installed on the surface of the support plates 7 so that the support columns 8 abut against the load-bearing plate 4, further supporting the load-bearing plate 4 and sharing the load on the load-bearing plate 4. Reinforcing ribs are set at the connection points of the X-bearing frame 2, X-connecting plate 3 and escalator frame 1 to enhance the stability of these key connection points and improve the reliability of the entire load-bearing structure. A diamond-shaped grid pattern of anti-slip texture is opened on the upper surface of the load-bearing plate 4 to increase the friction between pedestrians and the load-bearing plate 4, prevent pedestrians from slipping during escalator operation and improve safety.

[0032] When the escalator or moving walkway starts operating, pedestrians or goods stand on the load-bearing plate 4. The weight borne by the load-bearing plate 4 is transferred to the support plate 7 through the support column 8, and then distributed to the two escalator frames 1 by the support plate 7. At the same time, the X load-bearing frame 2 and the X connecting plate 3 also participate in the process of bearing and distributing the load, ensuring that the entire load-bearing structure remains stable during operation. Due to the presence of anti-slip texture, the friction force can effectively prevent pedestrians from slipping when walking on the load-bearing plate 4, ensuring safety during operation. Reinforcing ribs are set at the connection points of the X load-bearing frame 2, X connecting plate 3 and escalator frame 1 to enhance the stability of these key connection points and improve the reliability of the entire load-bearing structure.

[0033] Threaded rods 5 are symmetrically installed on the surface of the support plate 4 and inserted into the slots opened on the surface of the escalator frame 1. Then, one end of the threaded rod 5 passes through the escalator frame 1 and extends to the bottom of the escalator frame 1, and is threadedly connected to the nut 6 set at the bottom. Through the cooperation of the nut 6 and the threaded rod 5, the support plate 4 is firmly fixed to the escalator frame 1, and the nut 6 fits against the bottom of the escalator frame 1 to ensure the stability of the connection.
