[0007] A passenger conveyor 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Fig. 1 to Fig. 8. In this embodiment, the passenger conveyor 1 will be described as an escalator that transports passengers between an upper floor Fu and a lower floor Fd of a building.

[0008] In the following description, the longitudinal direction of the truss 2 may be referred to as the front-rear direction, and the width direction as the left-right direction. The front-rear direction and the left-right direction refer to the direction when looking at the upper floor Fu from the lower floor Fd, and The upper floor side is the front side and the lower floor side is the rear side.

[0009] (1) Passenger Conveyor 1 As shown in Fig. 1, a truss 2, which is the framework of a passenger conveyor 1, is supported by support angles 3 and 4 across an upper floor Fu and a lower floor Fd of a building. Within the truss 2, a plurality of steps 30 connected by an endless step chain 11 are provided.

[0010] The truss 2 is provided with four main frame members 22 extending in the front-rear direction (the moving direction of the steps 30) at the top, bottom, left and right. A pair of left and right vertical frame members 23 is provided on these four main frame members 22 to connect the upper main frame member 22 with the lower main frame member 22. In FIG. 1, only the vertical frame members 23 at the front and rear ends of the main frame members 22 are shown, and the others are omitted, but the vertical frame members 23 are provided at predetermined intervals along the front-rear direction of the passenger conveyor. In addition, the pair of left and right vertical frame members 23 are connected by a cross beam member 23a extending along the left-right direction (see FIG. 5). Furthermore, a bottom frame member (not shown) is provided in the left-right direction on the bottom surface of the truss 2.

[0011] Since the passenger conveyor 1 is installed to connect the upper floor and the lower floor, the central portion in the fore-and-aft direction of the main frame member 22 is installed at a predetermined angle (for example, 30°) with respect to the horizontal direction, and the vertical frame member 23 is installed at the same angle (30° in the above case) with respect to the vertical direction.

[0012] Inside the machine room 5 on the upper floor side at the upper end of the truss 2, there are provided a drive unit 6 for moving the steps 30, a pair of left and right drive sprockets 7, a pair of left and right handrail belt sprockets (not shown), and a control unit 16 that controls the drive unit 6 and the power supply devices 41, 42 described later.

[0013] The drive device 6 has a motor M consisting of an induction motor, a reduction gear, an output sprocket attached to the output shaft of the reduction gear, a drive chain 8 driven by the output sprocket, and a disk brake that stops the rotation of the motor and keeps it stopped. A pair of left and right drive sprockets 7 are rotated by this drive chain 8. The pair of left and right drive sprockets 7 and the pair of left and right handrail belt sprockets are connected by a connecting belt (not shown) and rotate synchronously.

[0014] A pair of left and right driven sprockets 10 are provided inside the lower floor machine room 9 at the lower end of the truss 2. A pair of left and right endless step chains 11 are stretched between the driving sprocket 7 on the upper floor and the driven sprocket 10 on the lower floor.

[0015] A pair of left and right skirt guards 12 and a pair of left and right balustrades 13 are erected on both the left and right sides of the truss 2. A handrail rail 14 is provided on the upper part of the balustrade 13, and a handrail belt 15 moves along this handrail rail 14. The handrail belt 15 moves in a circular motion around the periphery of the balustrade 13 in sync with the steps 30, emerging from inside the skirt guard 12 on the boarding side, entering the skirt guard 12 on the exit side, and moving through the inside of the skirt guard 12 to the boarding side.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 1, the upper floor entrance 17 is provided with a boarding / alighting plate 19 so as to cover the upper surface of the machine room 5, and a comb 24 with multiple comb teeth protruding at equal intervals is provided at the tip of the boarding / alighting plate 19. The lower floor entrance 18 is provided with a boarding / alighting plate 20 so as to cover the upper surface of the machine room 9, and a comb 25 with multiple comb teeth protruding at equal intervals is provided at the tip of the boarding / alighting plate 20. The comb teeth provided on the combs 24, 25 are bent downward at the tip and rounded and tapered at the end. The comb teeth of the combs 24, 25 engage with the cleat protrusions provided on the cleat body 32 of the step 30, thereby scooping up the feet of passengers and foreign objects on the step 30 onto the boarding / alighting plate 19, 20, preventing the feet of passengers and foreign objects from being caught between the step 30 and the boarding / alighting plate 19, 20.

[0017] (2) Step 30 Next, the step 30 will be described with reference to Figures 2 and 3. The step 30 comprises a cleat body 32 on which passengers stand, a riser body 33 that extends integrally from one end of the cleat body 32 in the step movement direction (the end on the lower floor side) and closes the step difference with the step 30 below, and a pair of left and right step frames 31 that support the cleat body 32 and the riser body 33. The step frames 31, cleat body 32 and riser body 33 may be integrally formed by aluminum die casting.

[0018] On the surface of the cleat body 32 on which passengers board the step 30, a plurality of cleat protrusions 32a extending in the direction of movement of the step 30 are provided parallel to each other at a predetermined interval, and cleat grooves 32b are formed between adjacent cleat protrusions 32a.

[0019] A demarcation portion 32c having a lighting device 38 that emits light upward is provided at both ends of the cleat body 32 in the step width direction. The multiple cleat protrusions 32a provided on the demarcation portion 32c protrude upward higher than the cleat protrusions 32a provided in the portions other than the demarcation portion 32c, and are colored a different color (e.g., yellow).

[0020] A roller support part 36 formed integrally with the step frame 31 protrudes rearward in the movement direction of the steps 30 on one side of the step frame 31 in the step movement direction (the lower floor side). A pair of left and right rear step rollers 37 are provided via bearings on the outer side of the roller support part 36 in the step width direction. In addition, a power receiving device 40 is provided on the inner side of the roller support part 36 in the step width direction.

[0021] A support shaft 34 is provided on the other side (upper floor side) of the step frame 31 in the step movement direction, protruding outward in the width direction of the step 30. The support shaft 34 rotatably supports a pair of left and right front step rollers 35 via bearings, outward in the width direction from the cleat body 32 and riser body 33 of the step 30. An endless step chain 11 is attached to the support shaft 34.

[0022] On both sides of the width of the step 30, conveying guide rails 50, 52 and non-conveying guide rails 60, 62 fixed to the truss 2 via support members are arranged along the traveling direction of the step 30. The conveying guide rails 50, 52 and non-conveying guide rails 60, 62 have rolling surfaces on which the front step rollers 35 and rear step rollers 37 provided on the step 30 roll, and guide the front step rollers 35 and rear step rollers 37.

[0023] (3) Transport guide rails 50, 52 and non-transport guide rails 60, 62 As shown in Figures 1 and 4, the conveying guide rails 50, 52 are composed of a front conveying guide rail 50 that rotatably supports the front step roller 35 of the step 30 that moves through the section R for transporting passengers, and a rear conveying guide rail 52 that rotatably supports the rear step roller 37 of the step 30 that moves through the section R for transporting passengers.

[0024] The non-conveying guide rails 60, 62 are composed of a front non-conveying guide rail 60 that supports in a rollable manner the front step roller 35 of the step 30 that moves through a section S that does not transport passengers other than the section R that transports passengers, and a rear non-conveying guide rail 62 that supports in a rollable manner the rear step roller 37 of the step 30 that moves through the section S that does not transport passengers. When the steps 30 are turned upside down in the machine room 5 on the upper floor, the step chain 11 of the front step roller 35 engages with the rotating drive sprocket 7 to turn upside down, and the rear step roller 37 rolls on the semicircular rear non-conveying guide rail 62. When the steps 30 are turned upside down in the machine room 9 on the lower floor, the step chain 11 of the front step roller 35 engages with the rotating driven sprocket 10 to turn upside down, and the rear step roller 37 rolls on the semicircular rear non-conveying guide rail 62.

[0025] Here, the section R for transporting passengers is a section between the com 24 provided at the upper floor entrance 17 and the com 25 provided at the lower floor entrance 18, where the cleat body 32 of the step 30 is exposed to the outside. The section R for transporting passengers is composed of an upper floor horizontal section R1 provided at the upper floor end and where the step 30 moves horizontally, a lower floor horizontal section R2 provided at the lower floor end and where the step 30 moves horizontally, an intermediate inclined section R3 provided between the upper floor horizontal section R1 and the lower floor horizontal section R2 and where the step 30 moves linearly in a direction inclined to the horizontal direction, an upper floor curved section R4 provided between the upper floor horizontal section R1 and the intermediate inclined section R3 and where the step 30 moves in a curved shape, and a lower floor curved section R5 provided between the lower floor horizontal section R2 and the intermediate inclined section R3 and where the step 30 moves in a curved shape.

[0026] In addition, the section S which does not transport passengers refers to the section which starts from a com provided at one of the boarding / alighting entrances (for example, com 24 provided at the boarding / alighting entrance 17 on the upper floor side) and enters the inside of the truss 2 below the boarding / alighting entrance, passes under the steps 30 which move through the section R which transports passengers, and exits from a com provided at the other boarding / alighting entrance (for example, com 25 provided at the boarding / alighting entrance 18 on the lower floor side) to the outside of the truss 2.

[0027] In the passenger conveyor 1, the step chain 11 moves cyclically between the drive sprocket 7 and the driven sprocket 10 due to the rotation of the drive sprocket 7 which receives a rotational force from the drive device 6. As the step chain 11 moves cyclically, the conveying guide rails 50, 52 and the non-conveying guide rails 60, 62 guide the front step rollers 35 and the rear step rollers 37 provided on the steps 30 so that the steps 30 move cyclically between the upper floor side and the lower floor side of the truss 2, alternately passing through the section R where passengers are conveyed and the section S where passengers are not conveyed.

[0028] (4) Power receiving device 40 and power supply devices 41 and 42 Next, the power receiving device 40 and the power supply devices 41 and 42 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0029] The power receiving device 40 has a power receiving coil 40a for contactless power transmission. The power receiving coil 40a receives alternating magnetic flux generated in power transmitting coils 41a and 42a (described later) and generates an electromotive force according to the principle of electromagnetic induction (see FIG. 8).

[0030] The power receiving device 40 is electrically connected to a lighting device 38 provided in the demarcation section 32c, and by supplying the electromotive force of the power receiving coil 40a to the lighting device 38, the lighting device 38 is operated to emit light upward from the demarcation section 32c.

[0031] The power receiving device 40 is attached to the roller support section 36 with the axial direction of the power receiving coil 40a inclined relative to the up-down direction (vertical direction) so that the angle of the axial direction of the power receiving coil 40a relative to the surface formed by the left and right rear conveying guide rails 52 (the rolling surface on which the rear step rollers 37 roll) approaches 90° at the upper floor curved section R4 and the lower floor curved section R5. The angle that the axial direction of the power receiving coil 40a forms with the up-down direction is, for example, 30° or less, and is preferably 10° or more and 20° or less.

[0032] The power supply devices 41, 42 are composed of a power supply device 41 provided on the upper floor horizontal section R1 and the upper floor curved section R4, and a power supply device 42 provided on the lower floor horizontal section R2 and the lower floor curved section R5.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 6, the power supply device 41 is provided along the rear conveying guide rail 52 so as to face the power receiving device 40 provided on the step 30 moving on the upper floor horizontal section R1 and the upper floor curved section R4 in the up-down direction. The power supply device 41 includes an elliptical power transmission coil 41a extending along the rear conveying guide rail 52. That is, the long axis direction of the coil wound in an elliptical shape is arranged in the front-rear direction along the rear conveying guide rail 52, and the short axis direction is arranged in the left-right direction. The power transmission coil 41a is provided at a position where it is magnetically coupled to the power receiving coil 40a. Specifically, the power transmission coil 41a is provided in the truss 2 so that the axial direction of the power transmission coil 41a coincides with the normal direction of the rolling surface of the conveying guide rail 52 on which the rear step roller 37 rolls, and the power transmission coil 41a is disposed at a position facing the power receiving coil 40a.

[0034] The power supply device 41 outputs an alternating magnetic field from the power transmission coil 41a, thereby supplying power to the power receiving coil 40a of the power receiving device 40 provided on the steps 30 that move along the upper floor horizontal section R1 and the upper floor curved section R4.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 7, the power supply device 42 is provided along the rear conveying guide rail 52 so as to face the power receiving device 40 provided on the step 30 moving on the lower floor horizontal section R2 and the lower floor curved section R5 in the up-down direction. The power supply device 42 includes an elliptical power transmission coil 42a extending along the rear conveying guide rail 52. That is, the long axis direction of the coil wound in an elliptical shape is arranged in the front-rear direction along the rear conveying guide rail 52, and the short axis direction is arranged in the left-right direction. The power transmission coil 42a is provided at a position where it is magnetically coupled to the power receiving coil 40a. Specifically, the power transmission coil 42a is provided in the truss 2 so that the axial direction of the power transmission coil 42a coincides with the normal direction of the rolling surface of the conveying guide rail 52 on which the rear step roller 37 rolls, and the power transmission coil 42a is disposed at a position facing the power receiving coil 40a.

[0036] The power supply device 42 outputs an alternating magnetic field from the power transmission coil 42a, thereby supplying power to the power receiving coil 40a of the power receiving device 40 provided on the steps 30 that move along the lower floor horizontal section R2 and the lower floor curved section R5.

[0037] (5) Control configuration of passenger conveyor 1 The control configuration of the passenger conveyor 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0038] The control unit 16 is connected to an inverter circuit 161, a power regeneration unit 162, a reactor 163, and a noise filter 164. Three-phase AC power supplied from a three-phase AC power source (not shown) passes through a noise filter 164 and a reactor 163 provided as a high-frequency countermeasure, and reaches the power regeneration unit 162. The power regeneration unit 162 regenerates energy generated when the passenger conveyor 1 is operated downward, into the three-phase AC power source. The inverter circuit 161 connected to the power regeneration unit 162 inverter-controls the motor M of the drive device 6 based on a drive signal from the control unit 16, and changes the operating speed and the direction of ascent or descent.

[0039] The control unit 16 is also connected to the power transmission coil 41a of the power supply device 41 and the power transmission coil 42a of the power supply device 42. The control unit 16 supplies power to the power transmission coils 41a, 42a during operation of the passenger conveyor 1 to output an alternating magnetic field, and supplies power to the power receiving coil 40a passing above the power transmission coils 41a, 42a.

[0040] Specifically, when the passenger conveyor 1 is ascending, the control unit 16 does not operate the power supply devices 42 provided on the lower floor horizontal section R2 and the lower floor curved section R5, but operates the power supply devices 41 provided on the upper floor horizontal section R1 and the upper floor curved section R4. As a result, power is supplied to the power receiving devices 40 of the steps 30 moving on the upper floor horizontal section R1 and the upper floor curved section R4, and the lighting devices 38 of the steps 30 near the upper floor boarding / alighting entrance 17, which serves as the exit, are turned on.

[0041] When the passenger conveyor 1 is in a descending operation, the control unit 16 does not operate the power supply devices 41 provided on the upper floor horizontal section R1 and the upper floor curved section R4, but operates the power supply devices 42 provided on the lower floor horizontal section R2 and the lower floor curved section R5. This causes power to be supplied to the power receiving devices 40 of the steps 30 moving along the lower floor horizontal section R2 and the lower floor curved section R5, and the lighting devices 38 of the steps 30 near the lower floor boarding / alighting entrance 18, which serves as the exit, are turned on.

[0042] (6) Effects In the passenger conveyor 1 of this embodiment, power is supplied contactlessly from the power supply devices 41, 42 provided on the truss 2 to the power receiving device 40 provided on the step 30. Therefore, while the step 30 is moving, power can be supplied to the power receiving device 40 to operate the lighting device 38.

[0043] Furthermore, if a magnetic material such as a skirt guard is present between the power receiving device 40 and the power supply devices 41, 42, the magnetic field generated by the power transmission coils 41a, 42a will be shielded, significantly reducing the power supply efficiency, and the magnetic material may heat up due to the influence of the magnetic field from the power transmission coils 41a, 42a. However, in this embodiment, the power receiving device 40 is provided on the inside of the step width direction in the roller support portion 36, and the power supply devices 41, 42 are provided within the truss 2, and there are no obstacles between the power receiving device 40 and the power supply devices 41, 42 that impede power supply, so that power can be efficiently supplied from the power supply devices 41, 42 to the power receiving device 40.

[0044] In this embodiment, the power supply devices 41, 42 are provided on the horizontal sections R1, R2 and the curved sections R4, R5. In the horizontal sections R1, R2 and the curved sections R4, R5, the guide rails 50, 52 can be positioned with better positioning accuracy than in the intermediate inclined section R3. Therefore, the power supply devices 41, 42 can be positioned close to the power receiving device 40 provided on the step 30, and power can be supplied efficiently.

[0045] In this embodiment, the axial direction of the power receiving coil 40a provided in the power receiving device 40 is inclined relative to the vertical direction, so that even when the power supply devices 41, 42 are provided along the curved sections R4, R5 where the inclination angle of the rear conveying guide rail 52 changes, the power receiving coil 40a can be positioned nearly coaxial with the axis of the power transmitting coils 41a, 42a, allowing efficient power supply.

[0046] (7) Example of changes Modifications of the above-described embodiment will be described. Any one of the multiple modification examples described below may be applied to the above-described embodiment, or any two or more of the modification examples described below may be applied in combination. In addition to the following modification examples, various modifications are possible.

[0047] (7-1) Change example 1 In the embodiment described above, the power supply devices 41, 42 having the oval power transmission coils 41a, 42a extending along the rear conveying guide rail 52 are provided on the truss 2, but multiple power supply devices may be provided at intervals in the extension direction of the rear conveying guide rail 52. By providing multiple power supply devices 41, 42 at intervals along the rear conveying guide rail 52 in this manner, power is intermittently supplied to the power receiving device 40 when the steps 30 pass above the multiple power supply devices 41, 42, and the lighting device 38 can be turned on and off.

[0048] (7-2) Change example 2 In the above embodiment, the steps 30 may be provided with a battery that charges the power supplied to the power receiving device 40. This allows the lighting devices 38 of the steps 30 traveling in positions other than above the power supply devices 41 and 42 to be turned on.

[0049] (7-3) Change example 3 In the above embodiment, the lighting device 38 is turned on by the power supplied to the power receiving device 40, but the operating device operated by the power supplied to the power receiving device 40 is not particularly limited, and the power from the power receiving device 40 may be used for the operation of various devices, such as a speaker or a communication device that transmits an identification signal for identifying each step 30.

[0050] (7-4) Change Example 4 In the above embodiment, a cover may be provided to cover the power supply devices 41, 42 with a space through which the power receiving device 40 can pass. This makes it possible to prevent the upper surfaces of the power supply devices 41, 42 facing the power receiving device 40 from being soiled by the lubricating oil sprayed onto the step chain 11.

[0051] (7-5) Change example 5 In the above embodiment, the power supply devices are provided on the horizontal portions R1, R2 and the curved portions R4, R5, but they may also be provided on the intermediate inclined portion R3. Also, they may be provided on either the horizontal portions R1, R2 or the curved portions R4, R5.
