Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for transporting people or loads in an aircraft with a plurality of decks intended for passenger use in a multi-deck aircraft, which has a transport platform which can be moved in the working position by means of a conveyor between an upper and a lower deck in the direction of the stairs .
  • a disadvantage of the proposed conveyor is that the transport platform arranged on the stairs is a hindrance to normal passenger traffic. It is known from the prior art that the transport platform can be folded up vertically on the side wall of the stairs or is designed to be removable in order to make the stairs accessible again for normal passenger traffic. With the foldable solution of the transport platform there is a not insignificant disability for passenger traffic.
  • the entire width of the staircase is not available, since the folded-up transport platform, together with parts of the conveying device, can be arranged in the side area of the staircase in a disruptive manner. In particular, congestion can then occur when the passengers get on or off the traffic route or passengers can get dirty on the outstanding transport platform.
  • the object of the invention is to design a generic device in a simple and space-saving manner, the transport platform being able to be put into use and put down again with a minimal amount of handling and obstructions in the traffic route of the passengers being avoided.
  • the transport platform is not obstructed in the traffic route for the passengers and that there are no impairments for the passengers using the stairs.
  • the handling effort to put the transport device into operation is minimal, since the transport platform is also in operative connection with the other components of the transport device in the rest position and does not have to be additionally attached or removed by the flight personnel.
  • the floor area of the lower deck in front of the stairs can be implemented without additional elements or structurally weakening interventions, and the transport platform is space-saving and not obstructed.
  • Figs. 1 to 3 each show an aircraft longitudinal section in the front area of a passenger cabin 1 of an aircraft.
  • a staircase 2 is provided as a connecting device between an upper deck 3 and a lower deck 4 of the aircraft and enables the passengers to move between decks 3 and 4.
  • the boarding of the passengers is shown in FIG. 1.
  • the full width of the staircase 2 can be used and thus the boarding of the passengers can be made possible without large congestion.
  • several passenger stairs preferably one in the front and one in the rear cabin area, can be provided in order to avoid backlogs and not to unnecessarily annoy passengers who are seated in the area of the stairs and their Reduce comfort.
  • Figs. 1 to 3 each show an aircraft longitudinal section in the front area of a passenger cabin 1 of an aircraft.
  • a staircase 2 is provided as a connecting device between an upper deck 3 and a lower deck 4 of the aircraft and enables the passengers to move between decks 3 and 4.
  • the boarding of the passengers is shown in FIG. 1.
  • a device for transporting 5 people or loads is shown, which is arranged on the stairs 2.
  • the transport device 5 In order to keep the space requirement within the passenger cabin 1 for the transport device 5 as small as possible, the use of the existing stairs 2 is also proposed for the transport device 5.
  • the transport device 5 can be put into operation. If the transport device 5 is not used, the full width of the stairs is available again. With this combination, a separate freight elevator can be avoided. It is thus possible to use the space for stairs and elevator available in the aircraft for a wide range of passenger stairs. Passengers can get on and off in a short time.
  • the transport device can either be used by wheelchair users 16 in wheelchairs 16, as shown in FIG. 2, or loads, for example trolleys 18 for passenger care, as shown in FIG. 3, between the decks 3 and 4 can be transported.
  • a first embodiment of the transport device 5 on the stairs 2 is shown.
  • the transport device 5 is on one side of the staircase 2 is arranged in such a way that the stairway 2 can be used by passengers - albeit to a limited extent - even when the transport device 5 is in operation.
  • the conveying device 5 arranged on the stairs 2 is shown in FIG. 4A in a top view, in FIG. 4B in a side view and in FIG. 4C in a front view according to the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 3.
  • a transport platform 6 can be moved by means of a conveyor device on a guide rail 7 between an upper deck 3 and a lower deck 4.
  • the conveyor is designed as an electric drive and thus runs relatively quietly. Other known drive types for stairlifts are also possible.
  • the guide rail 7 is arranged on the side wall 8 of the stairs in the area of the steps along the walking direction of the passengers.
  • the transport direction of the transport platform 6 also corresponds to this direction.
  • the transport platform 6 has its upper stopping point 9 at the top edge of the stairs 10 at almost the same height as the floor of the upper deck 3.
  • the lower stopping point 11 is provided at almost the same height as the floor of the lower deck 4.
  • the lower position of the transport platform 6 with a wheelchair 16 is shown with dashed lines.
  • the transport platform 6 is also supported on the side facing the middle of the stairs. It is intended to use the handrail on a banister 12 located in the middle of the stairs 2 or to use a holding rail which is attached to the banister 12.
  • the transport platform 6 is pulled to the front edge of the stair step at the upper stopping point 9 in the stopping position in order to enable the transition between the stair step and platform 6 to be passed over without any problems.
  • the transport platform 6 is transported to the corresponding deck 3 or 4 by means of the drive.
  • the transport device is operated via control elements which are provided in the entrance area of the stairs 2 of each deck and also on the transport platform 6.
  • the wheelchair 16 After the wheelchair 16 has been moved onto the transport platform 6, the wheelchair 16 is secured for transport by means of a safety bracket.
  • the operation of the conveying device 5 can be indicated acoustically or optically by a warning system 17, which makes sense as a safety measure for the passengers who want to use the stairs and focuses their attention on a possible danger.
  • the transport platform 6 If the transport platform 6 is not used, it can be sunk in the lower deck 4 in a floor recess 13 in order not to hinder normal passenger traffic.
  • a floor insert element 14 with spring-loaded buffers is provided in the floor of the lower deck 4. The floor insert element 14 covers the floor recess 13.
  • the platform 6 is stored in the floor recess 13 in such a way that it presses the floor insert element 14 lower and is locked to the floor by means of a lock in the same plane. In this position, the transport platform 6 can be walked on by the passengers as part of the floor. As an alternative, the accommodation of the transport platform 6 can be carried out in the same way in the floor of the upper deck. Another possibility, not shown, is to place the transport platform 6 in the floor recess 13 and to provide it with a cover which is moved out of the bottom step.
  • the floor area of the decks in front of the stairs can be designed without additional elements or structurally weakening interventions and the transport platform 6 is placed in the rest position in a space-saving and non-obstructive manner.
  • the transport platform 6 is guided on both sides by means of guide rails 7 and 7 '.
  • the guide rails 7 and 7 ' are advantageously arranged concealed on the respective side wall of the staircase, ie they run next to the stairs 2 or are covered by a cladding, so that passengers do not get dirty on the components of the transport device 5 can and the functionality of the conveyor 5 is not affected due to dirt and contamination.
  • the transport platform 6 can be stored in the area below the lowest step of the stairs 2. If necessary, it is extended like a "drawer" (see arrow direction) and can then be used to transport wheelchair users or loads.
  • the transport platform 6 can be moved out, for example, via rollers or laterally arranged rails.
  • usually known types of drive on an electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic basis can also be used.
  • FIG. 6 shows a lower staircase area as a detail with the conveying device 5 in a third embodiment. If the transport device 5 is not used, the transport platform 6 is stored below the stairs 2. This storage position 25 is shown in broken lines in FIG. 6.
  • the third embodiment of the transport device 5 is characterized by a transport platform 6, which does not run over the entire width of the stairs. Here, one-sided guidance is realized in only one guide rail 7. For the working position, the transport platform 6 can be provided with spring-loaded brackets 15, 15 'which can be folded out and are provided for securing the loads or the wheelchair. This design of the transport platform 6 as a detail can be seen in FIG. 6A.
  • the lower area of the stair steps is designed as an entire stair segment 22, which is horizontally displaceable in the direction of stair 2.
  • the stair segment 22 is moved into the space 21 below the stair 2.
  • rollers 23 are preferably arranged on the stair segment 22, as can be seen from the detail in FIG. 7A.
  • the Movement of the stair segment 22 can be realized, for example, by means of electrical drives. However, drives of pneumatic, hydraulic or electrohydraulic type are also possible.
  • the stair segment 22 must have such a depth that a sufficient space is released for the transport platform 6.
  • the transport platform 6 is stored in the rest position below the stair segment 22. After the stair segment 22 has been pushed in and, if necessary, the segment 22 has been locked, the transport platform 6 is accessible and in the working position, with brackets 15, 15 'which are preferably also folded out to secure the loads or the wheelchair.
  • 7 shows the transport platform 6, which is positioned in the upper deck 3 for the loading process and for which the safety bar 15 'has been folded down.
  • 7A that guide elements 24A and 24B are arranged on the sides of the transport platform 6, which enable the transport platform 6 to be guided along the guide rails 7A, 7A 'and 7B, 7B'.
  • the transport platform 6 does not extend beyond the step edge of the lowest step into the traffic area of the lower deck 4. This means that no additional space in the passenger cabin 2 is required for the entire stairwell with the transport device 5.
  • FIG. 8 shows a fifth embodiment of the transport device 5 on the stairs 2, which does not require any recesses in the floor area of the passenger decks.
  • the lower area of the steps is movable in this embodiment.
  • the transport platform 6 for the rest position can be stored below this area.
  • Individual, movable stair plates 19 can be inserted into a space 21 below the stairs 2.
  • a roller blind box 20 can preferably be provided, into which the stair plates 19 can roll like a roller shutter, as shown schematically in FIG. 9.
  • An alternative solution provides for the possibility of folding in the stair plates 19. A region of the stairs 2 can thus be released, which in the rest position covers the transport platform 6 of the transport device 5 when it is not required.
  • the transport platform 6 can be moved in the guide rails 7A, 7A 'and 7B, 7B' arranged on the wall in the direction of the stairs 2. 8 shows the transport platform 6 in the working position at the upper stopping point on the upper deck 3. When the platform 6 reaches the lower position, it also does not protrude beyond the step edge of the lowest step into the traffic area of the lower deck 4 in this embodiment The area in front of the stairs 2 is therefore not structurally changed for storing the transport platform 6.
