Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pedal technology, specifically relating to an escalator pedal structure. Background Technology
[0002] In escalator equipment, the steps play a crucial role as the main area for passengers to stand and walk. They not only need to be able to withstand the weight and various pressures of passengers to ensure their safety during escalator operation, but also need to be designed to be smooth enough to prevent passengers from tripping or falling due to the height difference between the steps. Traditional step designs often adopt an integrated structure. Although this design ensures the overall strength and stability of the steps to a certain extent, it has also revealed some problems in practical applications.
[0003] Specifically, when a part of an integrated pedal is damaged, it often needs to be completely disassembled and replaced. This replacement method is not only complicated, increasing the difficulty and time cost of maintenance, but also greatly increases the economic cost of replacement because the entire pedal needs to be replaced. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an escalator step structure that allows for the removal and replacement of damaged individual steps.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an escalator tread structure, comprising...
[0006] The kick plate has two spliced pedal units detachably mounted on its top;
[0007] The stabilizing component includes a receiving groove at the top of the pedal unit, an opening inside the pedal unit communicating with the receiving groove, a fastening block located at the top of the kick plate and passing through the opening, a threaded groove on the side surface of the fastening block, a recessed bracket installed at the bottom of the receiving groove, a threaded sleeve installed on the inner side of the recessed bracket, and a threaded rod threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve, with one end of the threaded rod threadedly connected to the threaded groove.
[0008] Preferably, it also includes a through hole formed inside the recess, through which the threaded rod passes.
[0009] Preferably, the fastening block has a cuboid structure, and the height of the fastening block is two-thirds of the height of the pedal unit.
[0010] Preferably, it also includes a limiting plate disposed at the bottom of the pedal unit, and a limiting groove adapted to the limiting plate is formed on the top of the kick plate.
[0011] Preferably, it also includes a fastening plate that is detachably installed inside the two receiving slots, and a fastening hole opened inside the fastening plate.
[0012] Preferably, the top of the fastening plate has a groove, and a pull rod is installed on the inner side of the groove.
[0013] Preferably, it also includes a bracket installed at the end of the kick plate, and the bracket has a hollowed-out center.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] The robust components are designed to ensure a secure connection between the pedal unit and the kick plate. When any pedal unit wears out, the worn pedal unit can be disassembled and replaced without replacing the entire pedal. This partial replacement method not only greatly reduces the cost of replacement but also improves the efficiency and convenience of maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0023] 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. Example 1
[0024] Please see Figures 1-6 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides an escalator tread structure, including...
[0025] Kick plate 1 has two spliced pedal units 3 on its top. When either pedal unit 3 is worn, it can be removed and replaced.
[0026] The stabilizing component includes a receiving groove 31 at the top of the pedal unit 3, allowing the receiving grooves 31 of the two pedal units 3 to fit together. A through-hole 32, located inside the pedal unit 3 and communicating with the receiving grooves 31, is also included. A fastening block 5, positioned at the top of the kick plate 1 and extending through the through-hole 32, is also included. When the pedal unit 3 and the fastening block 5 are joined, the fastening block 5 is inserted into the receiving groove 31 along the through-hole 32. A threaded groove 51, located on the side surface of the fastening block 5, is also included. The fastening block 5 is then installed in the receiving groove 3 by screws. The recessed frame 6 at the bottom of the 1st floor ensures the stable installation of the recessed frame 6. The threaded sleeve 7, which is fixedly installed on the inner side of the recessed frame 6, adds the threaded sleeve 7. The threaded rod 8 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 7, and one end of the threaded rod 8 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 51. In use, the threaded rod 8 can be rotated. When the threaded rod 8 is screwed into the inside of the threaded groove 51, the pedal unit 3 and the kick plate 1 can be stably spliced. When any pedal unit 3 is worn, the threaded rod 8 can be rotated. When the threaded rod 8 is disengaged from the inside of the threaded groove 51, the worn pedal unit 3 can be disassembled and replaced.
[0027] In this embodiment, preferably, a through hole 61 is also provided inside the recess 6, which enables the through hole 61 to be provided, and the threaded rod 8 passes through the through hole 61.
[0028] In this embodiment, preferably, the fastening block 5 is a cuboid structure, and the height of the fastening block 5 is two-thirds of the height of the pedal unit 3, so as to prevent the fastening block 5 from penetrating the receiving groove 31.
[0029] In this embodiment, preferably, a limiting plate 33 is also provided at the bottom of the pedal unit 3, which realizes the addition of the limiting plate 33. A limiting groove 11 is opened at the top of the kick plate 1 to match the limiting plate 33. By using the cooperation of the limiting plate 33 and the limiting groove 11, the limitation when the pedal unit 3 and the kick plate 1 are spliced is increased.
[0030] In this embodiment, preferably, a bracket 2 is also installed at the end of the kick plate 1. The bracket 2 and the kick plate 1 are spliced together, and the middle part of the bracket 2 is hollowed out. Example 2
[0031] Please see Figures 1-6This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment, but differs in that:
[0032] It also includes a fastening plate 4 installed inside the two receiving slots 31. The fastening plate 4 has a fastening hole, which can be screwed through to install the fastening plate 4 into the two closely fitting receiving slots 31. The top of the fastening plate 4 has a groove 41, and a pull rod 410 is installed on the inner side of the groove 41 to increase the convenience of pulling up and down the fastening plate 4.
[0033] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When the pedal unit 3 and the kick plate 1 are spliced, the pedal unit 3 is picked up and placed on the kick plate 1. The limiting plate 33 and the limiting groove 11 are used to increase the limitation when the pedal unit 3 and the kick plate 1 are spliced. The fastening block 5 is inserted into the receiving groove 31 through the through 32. The threaded rod 8 is rotated. When the threaded rod 8 is screwed into the threaded groove 51, the pedal unit 3 and the kick plate 1 can be stably spliced. When any pedal unit 3 is worn, the threaded rod 8 can be rotated. When the threaded rod 8 is disengaged from the inside of the threaded groove 51, the worn pedal unit 3 can be disassembled and replaced.
[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail above, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
