Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of terminal transfer equipment, and more specifically, relates to an automatic escalator transfer system suitable for sloping passenger terminals. Background Technology
[0002] With the deepening of my country's Yangtze River Economic Belt development strategy, inland waterway transportation, as a green, efficient, and low-cost mode of transport, is increasingly prominent in its passenger transport functions, particularly in tourism and urban-rural commuting. The upper reaches of the Yangtze River, influenced by monsoon climate and upstream water flow, experience annual water level fluctuations exceeding 15 meters, and in some sections even exceeding 30 meters, creating a typical navigation environment with significant water level differences. Against this backdrop, how to safely, efficiently, and conveniently enable passengers to board and disembark ships under varying water levels has become a key technical challenge in the design and operation of passenger terminals.
[0003] Currently, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River generally adopt a wharf layout centered on a combination of fixed bank slope structures and floating pontoons. Adjustable connecting devices adapt to water level changes, ensuring continuous passenger flow, and four main technical approaches have been proposed. The first is the "pontoon + passenger walkway" model, where an adjustable-slope rigid or flexible walkway is installed between the pontoon and the fixed platform on the bank. This typically uses articulated structures or sliding supports, automatically adjusting the inclination angle with water level fluctuations, allowing passengers to complete vertical transportation on foot. The second is the "pontoon + segmented escalator" model, where multiple continuous escalators are arranged on the bank slope. Each segment operates synchronously through a linkage control system, forming a vertical transport chain. Passengers can travel continuously on the escalators without transferring, effectively reducing physical exertion. The third type is the "pontoon + passenger cable car" model, which uses a two-way counterweight cable car system. Two sets of cars are linked to a winch via steel cables; one set goes up while the other goes down. The cable car system transports passengers between different elevations, utilizing its characteristics to cope with elevation changes caused by water level differences. The fourth type is the "pontoon + lifting frame" model, which uses a winch to pull a vertically lifting passenger platform or cage. The lifting frame then moves vertically back and forth to transport passengers, solving the problem of boarding and disembarking passengers in environments with large water level differences.
[0004] Although the above four technical solutions have been applied in actual engineering projects, they still reveal significant technical shortcomings when dealing with complex conditions such as large water level differences, high passenger flow, and limited space in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. They fail to fully meet the safety, efficiency, and economic requirements of modern passenger terminals. Among them, the "pontoon + escalator" design, while currently the mainstream design, has particularly prominent drawbacks. For example, due to the large water level difference, a large number of escalator sections are required, resulting in a large total equipment volume, leading to high initial investment and maintenance costs. Secondly, each escalator typically requires an independent or grouped hoisting mechanism, with multiple hoists centrally located in the rear machine room. This not only occupies a large amount of rear land space, affecting the overall layout and functional zoning of the terminal, but also results in high equipment redundancy and significant energy consumption. While the "passenger cable car" and "lifting frame" designs can achieve vertical transportation, the former requires the construction of tall supports and tracks, significantly impacting the landscape and lacking flexibility; the latter suffers from problems such as small single-trip capacity and long waiting times.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 One embodiment of this utility model provides an automatic escalator transfer system suitable for sloping passenger terminals, comprising: a longitudinal moving component 2, a sloping frame 3, a lifting component 5, and a temporary storage platform 6; wherein: The temporary storage platform 6 is located at the upper end of the sloping surface of the wharf 1, and a sloping surface parallel to the sloping surface is provided on the side away from the sloping surface; a plurality of horizontally placed first transverse tracks 601 are provided on the sloping surface. The longitudinal moving component 2 includes: a winch 201 located at the upper end of the temporary storage platform 6, pulley blocks 202 respectively located on the temporary storage platform 6 and the dock 1, and a shuttle traction trolley 203 located on the slope of the dock 1. The winch 201 is connected to the shuttle traction trolley 203 via a steel cable located on the pulley blocks 202. The shuttle traction trolley 203 is releasably and fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inclined frame 3. Multiple inclined frame vehicles 3 are installed on the slope of the dock 1, with their bottom ends parallel to the slope and internally equipped with bidirectional escalators; multiple transverse drive components 4 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the inclined frame vehicles 3, and each transverse drive component 4 includes: a drive mechanism 401 and transverse traveling wheels 402 connected to the drive mechanism 401. Multiple lifting components 5 are arranged in multiple rows on a slope surface on one side of the temporary storage platform 6; the upper ends of several lifting components 5 in each row are fixedly connected to a second transverse track 501; the second transverse track 501 is adapted to and corresponds one-to-one with the first transverse track 601; the position of the second transverse track 501 corresponds to the position of multiple transverse traveling wheels 402.
[0024] Understandably, by placing the temporary storage platform 6 on a slope and setting an inclined plane parallel to the slope on one side, the running trajectory of the inclined vehicle 3 is always kept within an inclined plane consistent with the slope, thereby achieving continuous same-plane movement from the working position to the temporary storage position. This avoids complex three-dimensional posture transformations between the horizontal plane and the slope of the wharf, effectively reducing the risk of structural stress concentration and instability during the transfer process. Secondly, the inclined arrangement of the temporary storage platform 6 allows the first transverse track and the second transverse track on the slope to be precisely connected through the lifting component 5, ensuring that the inclined vehicle 3 is smoothly transferred under the drive of the transverse drive component 4, significantly improving the continuity and reliability of the system operation. In addition, by arranging the temporary storage platform 6 along the slope and ensuring that the equipment storage and transfer processes are all located in a slope area with a relatively far line of sight, visual interference with the shoreline landscape is effectively reduced, thereby maintaining the openness and transparency of the wharf area, improving the quality of public space, and fully considering the landscape function requirements of the passenger terminal as a window to the city.
[0025] It should be noted that the drive mechanism 401 in this embodiment is a common drive device in the prior art, such as a drive motor and a reducer. In other embodiments, other types of drive devices can also be used, as long as they can stably drive the transverse traveling wheel 402 to roll. No specific limitation is made here.
[0026] It should be noted that the lifting component 5 in this embodiment is a common lifting device in the prior art, such as a hydraulic cylinder. In other embodiments, other types of lifting devices can also be used, as long as they can stably lift the inclined frame 3 to the predetermined height. No specific limitation is made here.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 Furthermore, the inclined frame vehicle 3 also includes: a base plate 301, a support component 302, a receiving plate 303, and a sunshade 304; the support component 302 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the base plate 301, and a two-way escalator and the sunshade 304 are fixedly mounted on its upper end; two receiving plates 303 are respectively located at the upper and lower entrances / exits of the two-way escalator; the sunshade 304 is located above the two-way escalator and the receiving plates 303. It can be understood that through the above design, the escalator body, traveling mechanism, entrance / exit platform, and protective facilities are integrated into a unified movable unit, namely the inclined frame vehicle 3. This achieves a high degree of integration and standardized design of functional components, making it an independent, complete, quickly installable, and relocatable functional module, thereby realizing the modularization, standardization, and improved environmental adaptability of the passenger transport system.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2Furthermore, the shuttle traction trolley 203 includes: a first locator 203a, a second locator 203b, a third locator 203c, and a telescopic traction rod 203d; the first locator 203a is located at the bottom of the shuttle traction trolley 203, corresponding to a plurality of first marker points longitudinally arranged along the slope of the wharf 1; the second locator 203b is located at the top of the shuttle traction trolley 203, corresponding to a second marker point located at the bottom of the inclined frame 3; The third locator 203c is located on the upper end of the movable end of the telescopic traction rod 203d, and corresponds to the third mark point on the upper end of the base plate 301. The telescopic traction rod 203d is located on the upper end of the shuttle traction trolley 203, and the movable end of the telescopic traction rod 203d corresponds to the through hole on the base plate 301. When the movable end of the telescopic traction rod 203d passes through the through hole to a predetermined extension length, the third locator 203c is matched and aligned with the third mark point.
[0029] Understandably, the first locator 203a and multiple first marker points ensure that the shuttle traction trolley 203 accurately stops when it reaches the designated lifting position, providing a reference for subsequent track docking and lifting operations. Secondly, the second locator 203b and the second marker points, combined with the alignment information from the first locator 203a, determine whether the shuttle traction trolley 203 is accurately positioned below the inclined frame 3 to be transferred, preventing misalignment, collision, or load instability of the telescopic traction rod 203d during operation. Furthermore, the third locator 203c and the third marker points indicate that the telescopic traction rod 203d has been fully inserted and reached a safe connection state, ensuring a stable connection.
[0030] In an optional embodiment, when the upper end of the telescopic traction rod 203d passes through the through hole to a predetermined elongation length, its length extending out of the bottom plate of the inclined frame vehicle 3 is 5cm to 10cm.
[0031] Please refer to Figure 3 Furthermore, a fourth locator 602 is fixedly provided on the side of the temporary storage platform 6 adjacent to the lifting component 5. The fourth locator 602 corresponds to a fourth mark point provided on the movable end of the lifting component 5 adjacent to the temporary storage platform 6, so as to further improve the alignment accuracy of the first transverse track 601 and the second transverse track 501, thereby ensuring the smooth transition and safe operation of the inclined frame 3 during the transfer process.
[0032] It should be noted that the locator and marker points in this example are commonly used positioning devices in the prior art, such as laser locators and feature marker points. In other embodiments, other types of positioning devices may also be used, which are not specifically limited here.
[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 Furthermore, the bottom of the shuttle traction trolley 203 is provided with multiple first longitudinal traveling wheels; the bottom of the inclined frame 3 is provided with multiple second longitudinal traveling wheels; the upper surface of the slope of the wharf 1 is provided with a first longitudinal track 101 adapted to the first longitudinal traveling wheels, and a second longitudinal track 102 adapted to the second longitudinal traveling wheels. It can be understood that through the above design, precise guidance and stable operation of each moving component during the transfer process can be achieved, and the shuttle traction trolley 203 can be ensured to move stably along the slope under the traction of the winch 201 via steel cable, effectively preventing deviation, jamming, or overturning, and improving the reliability of the traction process.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 Furthermore, the pulley block 202 includes at least three pulleys, with at least one pulley positioned on the sloping surface of the dock 1. This is to effectively guide and optimize the force distribution on the steel cable, and to make the resultant force acting on the shuttle traction trolley 203 closer to the slope axis, reducing lateral forces and thus lowering the trolley's running resistance and track wear, thereby improving operational stability. It is understood that, depending on actual needs, the pulley block may include multiple fixed pulleys to change the direction of the traction force.
[0035] In an optional embodiment, there are two winches 201, each connected to a shuttle traction trolley 203 via a steel cable mounted on the pulley block 202. This distributes the traction force evenly across the two steel cables, effectively reducing the stress on a single cable, mitigating fatigue damage, and extending its service life. Simultaneously, during long-distance traction on slopes, the dual-cable arrangement balances the lateral torque on the shuttle traction trolley 203, preventing it from twisting or veering due to eccentric force and ensuring stable operation.
[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 Furthermore, the transfer system also includes anchor seats 7, with multiple anchor seats 7 evenly distributed on the sloping surface of the wharf 1 and the sloping surface of the temporary storage platform 6; the bottom end of the inclined frame vehicle 3 is provided with an anchoring telescopic rod 305, the movable end of which is connected to the corresponding anchor seat 7 below it with a release clearance fit, so as to improve the parking safety of the inclined frame vehicle 3 under various working conditions, extend the service life of the equipment, and improve the overall stability and durability of the system.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1Furthermore, the upper surface of the temporary storage platform 6 is horizontally positioned to ensure that the winch 201 can be directly and securely installed on it without the need for additional leveling brackets or foundation pads, thereby simplifying the installation process and effectively avoiding equipment wear, reduced transmission efficiency, and safety hazards caused by foundation inclination. At the same time, the arrangement of the pulley block 202 also benefits from this horizontal plane, allowing for precise control of the parallelism of the pulley axis and the guiding angle of the steel cable, reducing frictional losses and off-center stress during operation, and improving the overall efficiency and service life of the traction system.
[0038] In an optional embodiment, the inclined frame 3 located on the first layer is positioned above the lifting component 5. It is understood that, through the above design, it can be lifted and transported by several lifting components 5 without adjustment via the longitudinal moving assembly 2, thereby improving work efficiency. It should be noted that the first layer refers to the uppermost of the plurality of inclined frame 3 arranged along the first longitudinal track 101 on the slope surface.
[0039] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the water level of the wharf 1 is at a normal level, multiple inclined trolleys 3 are distributed along the second longitudinal track 102 on the slope of the wharf 1, carrying bidirectional escalators and maintaining connection with the pontoon; when the water level rises and causes the lowest inclined trolley 3 to approach or exceed the safe operating elevation, the transfer system initiates an adjustment program, the winch 201 starts, and the shuttle traction trolley 203 is pulled along the first longitudinal track 101 by a steel cable through the pulley block 202 to the area below the uppermost inclined trolley 3, and then through the first positioning device. Align 203a with the first mark on the slope and match the second locator 203b with the second mark at the bottom of the slant carriage 3 to ensure precise positioning of the shuttle traction trolley 203; then, the telescopic traction rod 203d extends and passes through the through hole on the bottom plate 301 of the slant carriage 3, and the third locator 203c aligns with the third mark to confirm the connection is complete; afterwards, the winch 201 continues to pull, lifting the slant carriage 3 along the slope to near the temporary storage platform 6, and achieving precise parking through the first locator 203a; then, set Multiple rows of hydraulic jacks 5 on the slope simultaneously lift the second transverse track 501. The fourth locator 602 corresponds to the fourth mark point on the movable end of the hydraulic jack 5, ensuring that the second transverse track 501 is precisely aligned with the first transverse track 601 on the temporary storage platform 6. After the tracks are connected, the transverse drive assembly 4 at the bottom of the inclined frame 3 is activated, transferring the inclined frame 3 from the second transverse track 501 to the first transverse track 601 and parking it at the designated position on the temporary storage platform 6. After the transfer is completed, the anchoring telescopic mechanism on the inclined frame 3 on the temporary storage platform 6 is activated. Rod 301a extends and engages with the connection hole of the anchor seat 7 on the inclined surface of the temporary storage platform 6 below, thereby achieving rigid anchoring of the inclined frame vehicle 3. Subsequently, the transfer system can sequentially move each of the lower inclined frame vehicles 3 upwards, ensuring that there is always an inclined frame vehicle 3 operating within the applicable water level range. Furthermore, as the water level continues to rise, the transfer system continues to transfer the uppermost inclined frame vehicle 3 to the temporary storage platform 6, and then sequentially moves each of the lower inclined frame vehicles 3 upwards. When the water level drops, the process is reversed, realizing the recycling and dynamic adjustment of the inclined frame vehicles 3.
