Moreover, no matter which method is used, the entrances and exits are set close to each other.

At the entrance and exit of each escalator apparatus 1, 2, entrance and exit floors 3, 4 are laid so as to be continuous with the building side floor surface. Because there is a certain step difference between the surfaces of the two entrance and exit floors 3 and 4 and the building side floor surface, so there is a gap (space) between the two entrance and exit floors 3 and 4. Interstitial floor assembly 5 for clearance. Furthermore, the surface of the intermediate floor assembly 5 is formed so that there is no step difference between the surfaces of the two entrance and exit floors 3, 4, and is configured in a substantially uniform planar shape. In addition, it is possible to apply appropriate colors, patterns, etc. on the surfaces of the two entrance and exit floors 3, 4 and the intermediate floor assembly 5 in a manner coordinated with the adjacent building floor. It should be noted that reference numerals 7 and 8 denote moving armrests that move together with unillustrated pedals.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , a guide fence 6 is fixed and installed with an intermediate floor assembly 5 disposed between the two entrance and exit floors 3 and 4 (illustration of the guide fence 6 is omitted in FIG. 1 ). That is to say, at positions about 200 mm apart from the turned-back front ends of the adjacent moving handrails 7, 8 of the two escalator devices 1, 2, the guide fence 6 is erected on the middle floor assembly 5 and the building. The way things are set on the floor. And, one leg portion 6A of the guide fence 6 is fixed to the main body frame functioning as a strength member located below between the entrance and exit floors 3 and 4 by welding or bolts, and the other leg portion is fixed by anchor bolts. fixed to the floor of the building. The guide fence 6 is a device for smoothing out the flow of passengers during a congested time period as described in JEAS-524 (Standard Collection of Japan Elevator Association) to guide passengers to move smoothly.

The structure of the middle floor assembly 5 which is the characteristic structure of the present embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 .

As shown in FIG. 4 , the intermediate floor assembly 5 includes an intermediate floor member 9 , intermediate panels 10 , 11 , and intermediate panels 12 , 13 with notches. The middle floor member 9 is formed in an elongated box shape and is made of metal such as stainless steel or steel. constitute. Here, the above-mentioned intermediate plates 10, 11 and the notched intermediate plates 12, 13 are attached to the upper surface of the intermediate floor member 9 by a fixing method such as screws or adhesives. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the intermediate plates 10, 11 and the intermediate plates 12, 13 with cutouts are installed on the intermediate floor assembly 5 when the feet 6A of the guide fence 6 are fixed. 10 , 11 may also be formed integrally with the intermediate floor member 9 , so the intermediate plates 10 , 11 and the intermediate floor member 9 may be integrally formed in advance as necessary. At this time, an opening 14 to be described later is formed between the intermediate plates 10 and 11 .

The middle floor member 9 has an opening surface over the entire length direction, and an opening 14 is formed in the middle of the opening surface. The opening 14 is formed after the middle plate 10 and the middle plate 11 are installed. It is located between the middle board 10 and the middle board 11 . Therefore, if the intermediate plates 10 , 11 and the intermediate floor member 9 are formed integrally in advance, the portion between the intermediate plates 10 , 11 becomes the opening 14 .

Furthermore, the opening surface of the opening 14 is closed by a pair of notched intermediate plates 12 and 13 . The notched middle plates 12 , 13 are divided into two along the longitudinal center line of the opening 14 , and semicircular cuts 15 , 16 are formed at the butted portions of the notched middle plates 12 , 13 . These notches 15 and 16 form insertion holes through which a leg portion 6A of the guide fence 6 to be described later passes.

In addition, since the opening 14 of the middle floor member 9 is used to install and fix the foot portion 6A of the guide fence 6, as will be described later, the width of the opening 14 formed in the middle of the middle floor member 9 has a width much larger than that of the guide rail. The foot portion 6A of the fence 6 has a large length. In addition, in order to increase the installation flexibility of the foot portion 6A of the guide fence 6 when the outer shape design and installation dimensions of the guide fence 6 are changed on the building side, openings are made within a predetermined length range. It should be noted that it is also possible to apply appropriate colors and patterns on the surfaces of the intermediate plates 10, 11 and the intermediate plates 12, 13 with cutouts in a manner coordinated with the entrance and exit floors 3, 4 or nearby building floors. Decoration, so that the intermediate panels 10, 11 and the notched intermediate panels 12, 13 have the function of decorative panels.

And, when installing escalator device 1,2, carry out following installation construction: at first main body frame 30A, 30B are erected on the building, then install pedal, railing and moving handrail etc. The railings are erected on the main frames 30A, 30B to move circularly between the landing plates at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the main frames 30A, 30B, and the moving handrails are driven synchronously with the pedals. Next, after the entrance and exit floors 3 , 4 are provided, the intermediate floor member 9 or the intermediate floor member 9 integrally formed with the intermediate plates 10 , 11 is provided between the entrance floors 3 , 4 . It should be noted that the arrangement order of the entrance/exit floors 3, 4 and the middle floor member 9 can be reversed.

As shown in FIG. 5 , the doorway floor 3 is placed on the main body frame 30A as a strength member of one escalator device 1 , and the doorway floor board is placed on the main body frame 30B as a strength member of the other escalator device 2 . 4. Between the main frame 30A, 30B and the entrance floor 3, 4 is provided a floor frame (not shown) for placing the entrance floor 3, 4, and the floor frame is fixed to the main frame 30A, 30B by bolts. The access floor 3, 4 is only placed on the floor frame without being fixed, so that the access floor 3, 4 can be easily removed when performing maintenance on the machine room below the access of the escalator apparatus.

Next, an intermediate floor assembly 5 is provided between the entrance/exit floors 3, 4, and an intermediate floor member 9 constituting the intermediate floor assembly 5 is placed on the main body frames 30A, 30B via the thickness adjustment spacer 31. Thickness adjustment spacers 31 are interposed between the intermediate floor member 9 and the main body frames 30A, 30B, and are used to align the surface height of the entrance and exit floors 3, 4 with the surface heights of the intermediate plates 10, 11 and the notched intermediate plates 12, 13. Highly aligned. And after the height is adjusted by the spacer 31 for thickness adjustments, the intermediate|middle floor member 9 is fixed with respect to main body frame 30A, 30B. At this time, the front end side and the rear end side of the intermediate floor member 9 are welded and fixed to the main body frames 30A and 30B via L-shaped steel or flat steel.

According to the above structure, when installing the escalator apparatus 1, 2, the installation work of the entrance and exit floors 3, 4 and the intermediate floor member 9 or the intermediate floor member 9 integrally formed with the intermediate plates 10, 11 can be performed simultaneously.

And, in the state after the above-mentioned members are installed, according to the installation size of the guide fence 6, using the opening 14 of the intermediate floor member 9, the leg portion 6A of the guide fence 6 is inserted into the main frame 30A, 30B side, and the leg portion 6A is welded. On the main body frames 30A, 30B, the leg portion 6A and the main body frames 30A, 30B can thereby be fixed to each other. Here, since the opening 14 of the intermediate floor member 9 is opened within a predetermined length, the guide fence 6 can be arbitrarily determined within the opening range of the opening 14 according to the outer shape design and installation size of the guide fence 6 on the building side. The fixed position of the foot 6A of the fence 6 . Therefore, the size and the like of the opening 14 are determined according to the maximum change range of the installation size of the guide fence 6 .

Next, after the fixing of the foot portion 6A of the guide fence 6 is completed, the plate-shaped intermediate plates 10, 11 and the intermediate plates 12, 13 with notches are made according to the installation position and shape of the foot portion 6A of the guide fence 6, etc. By placing and fixing the intermediate plates 10, 11 and the notched intermediate plates 12, 13 on the upper opening surface of the intermediate floor member 9, the fixed portion of the leg portion 6A can be covered. Fixing of the intermediate plates 10, 11 and the notched intermediate plates 12, 13 can be easily performed using bolts, adhesives, or the like. It should be noted that, when adopting the intermediate floor member 9 integrally formed with the intermediate plates 10, 11, it is only necessary to manufacture the intermediate plates 12, 13 with cutouts, and place and fix the intermediate plates 12, 13 with cutouts on the The opening 14 on the upper side of the intermediate floor member 9 can cover the fixing portion of the leg portion 6A.

In this embodiment, since the intermediate plates 10, 11 and the notched intermediate plates 12, 13 are plate-shaped, they can be fabricated very conveniently according to the shape and installation position of the leg portion 6A. Since there is no need to use an intermediate floor assembly having a complicated shape in the prior art, the time required for production can be greatly shortened.

In addition, in this embodiment, if the mounting position of the leg portion 6A can be fixed along the centerline of the longitudinal direction of the opening 14, the two notched intermediate plates 12, 13 can be formed with the centerline as a boundary. for the same shape. Therefore, since the intermediate plate with the cutout of the same shape can be used upside down, there is an effect that the production time can be shortened.

As mentioned above, specifications such as the size and shape of the conventional box-shaped intermediate floor assembly housed in the space between the entrance and exit floors 3 and 4 need to wait until the design shape and installation of the guide fence 6 on the building side. The location can only be decided after the location is determined, so the production and installation of the intermediate floor assembly cannot be completed as soon as possible. Therefore, from the standpoint of the installation company of the escalator apparatus that performs the installation construction, the production and installation construction of the intermediate floor assembly cannot be performed until the outer shape design and installation position of the guide fence 6 are determined, and there is a possibility that the installation construction period will be lengthened. question.

On the other hand, according to this embodiment, even if the specifications such as the installation size of the guide fence 6 on the building side are not determined, the entrance and exit floors 3, 4 and the intermediate floor member 9 can be simultaneously installed when the escalator device is installed. installation work. That is to say, the installation position of the foot portion 6A of the guide fence 6 can be determined within the opening range of the opening 14 of the intermediate floor member 9 according to the installation size of the guide fence 6 in the state after the escalator device is installed. In this position, the foot 6A of the guide fence 6 is welded to the main frame 30A, 304b. And, after the fixing of the foot portion 6A of the guide fence 6 is completed, the plate-shaped intermediate plates 10, 11 and the intermediate plates 12, 13 with notches are made, and they are placed and fixed on the upper side of the intermediate floor member 9. On the opening surface, the fixing portion of the leg portion 6A can thus be covered. In addition, since the intermediate plates 10, 11 and the notched intermediate plates 12, 13 are plate-shaped, they can be manufactured very conveniently according to the fixed position of the leg portion 6A. Since there is no need to manufacture and install an intermediate floor assembly having a complicated shape in the prior art, it is possible to shorten the time required for installation and construction including the manufacture of the intermediate floor assembly.

It should be noted that since the installation position of the foot portion 6A of the guide fence 6 can be changed within the opening range of the opening portion 14, in actual construction, when the installation position of the foot portion 6A of the guide fence 6 is changed, only It is sufficient to manufacture the intermediate plates 12 and 13 with cutouts according to the change. Therefore, general-purpose intermediate plates can be prepared in advance as the intermediate plates 10, 11 and used whenever necessary.

In the present embodiment described above, the opening 14 of the intermediate floor member 9 for installing the leg portion 6A of the guide fence 6 has a sufficient width to allow the installation of the leg portion 6A and a sufficient length to cope with changes in the installation size of the guide fence 6 . . Therefore, when the guide fence 6 is installed, even if the fixing position of the leg portion 6A is changed, the intermediate floor member 9, which is a basic component of the intermediate floor assembly 5, can be used as it is without changing the intermediate floor assembly 5. It is convenient to adjust the position of the foot 6A within the range of the opening. And, since the size of the notched intermediate plates 12, 13 is smaller than the overall size of the intermediate floor member 9, even if the position of the foot portion 6A of the guide fence 6 is changed, a new notched intermediate plate can be easily manufactured according to the change. Intermediate plates 12,13.

Since the main frame 30A, 30B to which the foot 6A of the guide fence 6 is fixed and the foot 6A of the guide fence 6 can be covered by the middle plates 10, 11 and the notched middle plates 12, 13, the appearance can be maintained. Furthermore, if a structure in which the intermediate plates 10, 11 and the notched intermediate plates 12, 13 are not fixed to the main body frames 30A, 30B by fixing members such as bolts is adopted, the appearance can be further improved.

Since the intermediate plates 10, 11 and the notched intermediate plates 12, 13 have a plate shape, they can be easily manufactured. Therefore, after the exterior design of the entrance floors 3 and 4 and the floor surface of the building near the entrance, etc. are determined, the vicinity of the entrance can be designed to be coordinated as a whole by adding decorations that match the exterior design.

On the other hand, as mentioned above, JEAS (Japan Elevator Association Standard Set) stipulates the installation position of the guide fence 6, and it is necessary to install the guide fence 6 at a position of 200 mm from the front end of the moving handrail 7 and 8. fence6. Therefore, when setting the size of the longitudinal direction of the opening 14, for example, the installation position of the foot portion 6A of the guide fence 6 can have a margin of 150 mm in the front and rear, from the side of the moving handrail 7, 8 from the middle floor member 9 An opening of about 300 mm is formed from a position 600 mm from the end of the In addition, when setting the dimension in the width direction of the opening 14, it may be set to have a sufficient width dimension so that it can cope with the case where the outer shape of the leg portion 6A of the guide fence 6 is cylindrical or square.

As described above, in this embodiment, the intermediate floor member 9 having the opening 14 having a predetermined length is placed on the main body frames 30A, 30B between the entrance and exit floors 3, 4, and is attached by welding. Thereafter, in this state, one leg portion 6A of the guide fence 6 can be fixed to the main body frames 30A, 30B at an arbitrary position by using the opening portion 14 of the intermediate floor member 9 . And, after the leg portion 6A of the guide fence 6 is fixed on the main body frames 30A, 30B, the plate-shaped intermediate plates 10, 11, 12, 13 are installed on the opening surface including the opening portion 14 of the intermediate floor member 9, and by This covers the opening.

According to the above configuration, when the design shape or the installation position of the guide fence 6 is changed, the installation position can be adjusted through the opening 14, so that the installation work on the escalator apparatus side can be promoted. In addition, by making plate-shaped intermediate plates 10 to 13 according to the design shape of the guide fence or changing the installation position, and installing the newly made intermediate plates 10 to 13 on the ground including the already installed intermediate floor. The opening surface of the opening 14 in the member 9 can cover the inside of the intermediate floor member 9, so that the installation work can be efficiently promoted.

second embodiment

A second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. 6 .

After the leg portion 6A of the guide fence 6 is fixed to the main body frames 30A, 30B, the member is attached to the opening surface formed on the upper surface of the intermediate floor member 9 . The materials of the above-mentioned components and the method of fixing them are the same as those of the first embodiment.

In the middle floor member 9 , at the end opposite to the handrails 7 and 8 , a long opening 14A extending toward the handrails 7 and 8 is formed at a distance of about 50 mm from the end. The opening 14A is considerably longer than the opening 14 of the first embodiment.

Therefore, while making the distance between the moving handrails 7, 8 and the end of the guide fence 6 meet the distance specified by JEAS (Japan Elevator Association Standard Set), for the design shape of the guide fence 6, it is estimated that the foot When there is a possibility that the mounting position of the portion 6A may change significantly, the configuration having the long opening portion 14A shown in the second embodiment can effectively cope with it.

Returning to FIG. 6, on the upper surface side of the middle floor member 9, a short middle plate 11A of about 50 mm is installed at the end of the side opposite to the moving handrails 7, 8, and a long middle plate is installed across the opening 14A. Dimensions of the middle plate 10A. Further, a short notched intermediate plate 12A having a notch 15 and a long notched intermediate plate 13A having a notch 16 are attached to the opening 14A. The respective lengths of the above-mentioned intermediate plates are determined by the installation positions of the leg portions 6A of the guide grid 6 .

Unlike the first embodiment, the short-sized notched intermediate plate 12A and the long-sized notched intermediate plate 13A are bounded by a line perpendicular to the longitudinal centerline of the opening 14A and passing through the center of the leg portion 6A. split into two. In addition, the manufacturing method of the above-mentioned intermediate plate 10A to intermediate plate 13A is the same as that of the first embodiment. It should be noted that, like the first embodiment, since the change of the installation position of the foot portion 6A of the guide fence 6 is performed within the opening range of the opening portion 14A, the installation position of the foot portion 6A of the guide fence 6 is changed. In practice, it is only necessary to manufacture the intermediate plates 12A and 13A with cutouts to cope with this change.

Thus, in this embodiment, since the elongated opening 14A is formed, it is possible to cope effectively when the mounting position of the leg 6A is expected to change greatly depending on the design shape of the guide fence 6 .

third embodiment

As shown in FIG. 8 , in this embodiment, since the guide fence 6 has a plurality of leg portions 6A, 6B, an elongated opening portion 14A is required as in the third embodiment. However, the notched intermediate plate covering the opening portion 14A is different from the third embodiment. The notched intermediate plate used in the present embodiment is composed of a notched intermediate plate 12C and a notched intermediate plate 13C which are divided into two in the length direction. Moreover, in the two notched intermediate plates 12C, 13C, notches 22 to 25 are formed corresponding to the positions of the leg portions 6A, 6B of the guide fence 6 . The opening 14A can be covered by attaching the two notched intermediate plates 12C and 13C to the opening 14A.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, if the mounting positions of the leg portions 6A, 6B can be fixed along the center line in the longitudinal direction of the opening portion 14A, the two notched intermediate plates 12C, 13C are formed in the same shape . Therefore, since the intermediate plate with the cutout of the same shape can be used upside down, there is an effect that the production time can be shortened. In this embodiment, since the change of the installation position of the foot portions 6A, 6B of the guide fence 6 is carried out within the opening range of the opening portion 14A, when the installation position of the foot portions 6A, 6B of the guide fence 6 is changed, In fact, it is only necessary to manufacture the notched intermediate plates 12C and 13C, and this modification can be accommodated.

As described above, according to the present invention, an intermediate floor member having an opening having a predetermined length is installed between the entrance and exit floors, and the opening of the intermediate floor member can be used to place one leg of the guide fence in an arbitrary position. The position is fixed on the main body frame of the passenger conveyor, and after fixing the legs of the guide fence to the main body frame, a plate-shaped intermediate plate for closing the opening of the intermediate floor member is attached to the intermediate floor member.

According to this configuration, in the state where the entrance/exit floor and the intermediate floor member are installed, the foot of the guide fence can be fixed to the main body frame at an arbitrary position by using the opening of the intermediate floor member, and the plate-shaped intermediate plate can be used to fix the legs. The opening of the intermediate floor member is closed. Thereby, even if the installation position of the guide fence is not determined, the installation work including the installation of the entrance/exit floor and the intermediate floor member can be performed. Furthermore, since the middle plate covering the middle floor member is plate-shaped, the middle plate can be conveniently manufactured according to the installation position and shape of the foot portion of the guide fence, thereby shortening the installation construction period.
