[0016] Furthermore, the interlocking action of the card block and the card slot can improve the stability of the assembly connection between the protective plate and the roller body;

[0017] By using a roller body, an epoxy resin coating, a polyurethane coating, and a PTFE coating, and by fixing the epoxy resin coating to the outer wall of the roller body, it can better adhere to the metal substrate, seal the micropores of the substrate, prevent moisture from penetrating into the substrate, and at the same time provide a flat base for the intermediate coating.

[0018] Furthermore, a polyurethane coating is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the epoxy resin coating, which can absorb the vibration during the operation of the escalator, reduce the rigid friction between the rollers and the shaft, and has good compatibility with the epoxy resin coating and PTFE coating, thus preventing delamination and peeling.

[0019] Furthermore, the PTFE coating is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the polyurethane coating, which can improve the hydrophobicity of the surface. Water droplets roll off the surface in a spherical shape, enhancing the waterproof effect and reducing frictional resistance with the escalator guide rail, thus reducing operating noise.
