DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaning device for an apparatus having a moving stepboard such as an escalator, and more particularly to a cleaning device which maintains an aesthetic appearance by automatic cleaning and is suitable for maintenance work.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An escalator-type passenger conveyor disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 58-187568 is known as a conventional example of a cleaning device for a movable tread.

[0003]

The above-mentioned prior art discloses a cleaning device using a brush provided on a comb plate disposed at the tip of a floor plate at the entrance and exit and slidingly contacting the concave and convex grooves of the movable tread plate. However, in the configuration of this cleaning device, there is a problem that if the tooth tip of the comb plate is damaged, the brush is missing and the cleaning function is lost. In this type of apparatus, even when a foreign object (such as a pebble) is caught in the concave and convex grooves of the moving tread, the moving tread is not damaged, and the comb plate that scoops up foreign matter is damaged to protect the moving tread. Because of the design concept, the breakage of the tooth tip as described above has been a fatal injury in the cleaning function.

Further, in the above-mentioned conventional example, there is no reference to the moving direction of the moving tread plate and the arrangement of the cleaning device. For example, when the cleaning device is arranged on the side where the moving tread plate moves from the comb plate to the entrance / exit. However, there is a disadvantage of the adverse effect that dust accumulates on the surface of the movable tread plate in front of the tip of the comb plate to give passengers a sense of fouling.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning member for a movable tread plate which maintains an aesthetic appearance by automatic cleaning, easily removes accumulated dust, and is suitable for maintenance work.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a doorway to a moving stepboard, which is disposed at the boundary between the moving stepboard and the floorboard of the stepping door, and has a number of comb teeth. In the one provided with a comb plate having, a substantially flat substrate,
A cleaning body composed of a brush planted at the tip of the substrate is disposed on the back surface of the comb plate on the side on which the moving tread moves from the floor plate to the comb plate toward the comb plate. . According to this configuration, the dust removed by the cleaning body accumulates directly below the comb plate, so that there is no unclean feeling at the front side of the tip side of the comb plate, and further, dust can be removed by removing the comb plate and the cleaning body. Maintenance can be easily performed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 using an escalator-type passenger conveyor as an example. In FIG. 1, which is a perspective view of the vicinity of one of the entrances of the passenger conveyor 1, the passenger conveyor 1 includes:
A passenger moving path is formed by a floor plate 2 for entrance and exit, a comb plate 3 having a large number of comb teeth, and a plurality of moving treads 4 connected to the building floor, and a side wall is formed by handrails 5 and balustrades 6 on both sides of the moving treads 4. doing. And, in the concave and convex grooves on the surface of the movable tread plate 4, there is provided a pattern 4A of a footprint mark indicating a position where the passenger should stand correctly in all or several steps. Further, as shown by an arrow M in FIG. 2, the cleaning body 7 for automatically cleaning the inside of the concave and convex grooves of the movable tread plate 4 is such that the movable tread plate 4 of the entrance / exit floor plates 2 on both sides is separated from the entrance / exit floor plate 2 by the comb plate 3 side. (Only one side of the boarding board 2) is disposed only at the entrance of the part that moves toward. In addition, this cleaning body 7
As shown in FIG. 3, a substantially flat substrate 7A such as a synthetic resin material,
This is a one-piece product having a brush 7C planted or bonded to a base material 7B at the end of the substrate 7A. This is provided on the back surface of the comb plate 3 and is framed together with the comb plate 3 by screws 8 on the entrance / exit floor plate 2. It is fixed to the body 2A. In this case, the cleaning body 7
The substrate 7A is a substantially flat plate having a width W (which may be divided into several pieces) corresponding to the entire width of the comb plate 3 and a plate thickness t of about 1 to 2 mm, and has a cut 7D through which the screw 8 penetrates. ing. Then, normally, the brush 7C is slidably brought into contact with the concave and convex grooves in the state of FIG. 2 to automatically clean dust and the like adhering to the movable tread plate 4.

Further, in the cleaning body 7 of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, a gap δ having a width m is provided in the width W direction between the brush 7C and the frame 2A of the entrance floor plate 2. Installed in condition. Then, dust is accumulated in the vicinity of the gap δ. For example, when the movable tread plate 4 moves in the direction opposite to the arrow M, dust is prevented from accumulating from the vicinity of the symbol n to the vicinity of the symbol P and giving a sense of dirty. be able to. In the case where the passenger conveyor 1 has been operated for a certain period and dust accumulates in the vicinity of the gap δ, the comb 8 and the cleaning body 7 are disassembled by removing the screws 8 during maintenance work and then removed.

According to the above configuration, even if the tooth tip of the comb plate 3 is broken, the function of the cleaning body 7 which is separate from the tooth is not lost, and the pattern 4A and the pattern
Even when there is no A, the inside of all the concave and convex grooves can be cleaned. Further, since the cleaned dust is accumulated in a part that cannot be seen, the appearance is good and the dust can be easily removed.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention,
It is possible to provide a cleaning body for a movable tread plate that maintains an aesthetic appearance by automatic cleaning, easily removes accumulated dust, and is suitable for maintenance work.
