Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of escalator technology, specifically to an escalator with a resistor box installed in an inclined section. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, escalators play a vital role in public spaces due to their stability and efficiency. The operation of escalators inevitably impacts customer energy consumption; therefore, variable frequency drive (VFD) technology is widely used in escalators to conserve energy. After installing frequency converters, resistor boxes, and sensors, the escalator automatically adjusts from zero speed to slow speed and then to fast speed when a customer is riding, via sensors. This ensures customer safety while saving energy.
[0003] To achieve energy-saving functions on escalators, equipment such as frequency converters and resistor boxes need to be installed. Most manufacturers install the resistor boxes in the upper or lower machine room of the escalator. During operation, the resistor boxes generate significant heat, resulting in typically high temperatures in the escalator machine room where they are installed, especially for outdoor escalators. Overheating in the machine room can pose a potential threat to related equipment and introduce instability into escalator operation.
[0004] Therefore, we propose an escalator with a resistor box installed in an inclined section to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an escalator with a resistor box installed in an inclined section, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an escalator with a resistor box installed in an inclined section, comprising: an escalator body, wherein a resistor box is fixedly installed in the inclined section of the escalator body.
[0007] Preferably, the escalator body includes an upper passenger boarding / alighting area, an inclined area, and a lower passenger boarding / alighting area, wherein a bracket is fixedly installed in the inclined area, and a resistor box is fixedly installed in the bracket.

The tiered system includes two levels of stairs for walking, and the support is located between the upper and lower levels of stairs.
[0009] Preferably, the bracket is formed by bending steel plate, with welded joints, and the bracket is fixed to the resistor box by press-fit screws.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] The heat generated by the resistor box installed in the inclined area of the escalator can be carried away from the escalator through the operation of the step system, keeping the resistor box away from the machine room, eliminating the risk of machine room overheating, saving machine room space, and making the escalator operation more stable.
