Description

The present invention relates to a method for installing a broadcasting facility for a passenger conveyor provided with a speaker that plays music and a sound for alerting passengers.

  In general, as a broadcasting facility of a passenger conveyor equipped with a speaker that sends music and a sound to call attention to passengers, a thing with a speaker on the ceiling near the entrance is used. In addition, wiring is required, and it takes a lot of time for construction, and there is a problem that the cost increases. For this reason, it has been proposed that a hole is provided in an opaque panel provided near the entrance of a passenger conveyor, and a speaker is provided on the outside of the opaque panel that plays music or a sound to alert the passenger. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

In addition, many passenger conveyors with circular lighting equipment that illuminate the feet of passengers are installed near the entrance and exit of the railing, mainly in public institutions such as stations. In the case of adding a speaker that plays music or a sound to call attention accompanying the diversification of persons, it was necessary to determine and add a new place to be equipped.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-116088 (4th line to 10th line, lower left row on page 3)

  By the way, as described above, when a speaker, which is a broadcasting facility, is additionally installed on an existing passenger conveyor, it is necessary to determine a new installation location and to equip the speaker and other related parts. There was a problem that it took.

  In addition, in the case where the outside of the proposed opaque panel is provided with a speaker that sends music or a sound for alerting the passenger, the speaker is provided outside the opaque panel in the vicinity of the hole. Therefore, the sound emitted from this speaker is emitted toward the side of the opaque panel. For this reason, although it can be heard by the passenger who passes near the speaker, there is a problem that it is difficult for the passenger to get on the passenger conveyor. On the other hand, if the volume is increased so that it can be heard by passengers trying to get on the passenger conveyor, there is a problem that passengers passing near the speaker are greatly uncomfortable.

The present invention has been made from the actual situation in the above-described prior art, and its purpose is to be able to easily add a speaker to an existing passenger conveyor, and to provide an appropriate sound for passengers who are going to get on the passenger conveyor. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for installing a broadcasting system for passenger conveyors that can build a place.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a circular hole in an opaque panel provided symmetrically on both the left and right sides near the entrance of a passenger conveyor, and an existing installation provided with lighting equipment in the circular hole. In the passenger conveyor, in the installation method of the passenger conveyor broadcasting equipment additionally equipped with a speaker that sends music and alerting sound to the passenger, at least one side of the lighting device of the circular hole is removed, and this In the circular hole portion, the speaker is provided so as to be inclined so that sound emitted from the speaker is emitted toward the front end of the entrance.

  In the invention according to claim 1 configured as described above, since the broadcasting speaker is provided using the lighting equipment of the installed passenger conveyor, the broadcasting equipment can be easily added to the existing passenger conveyor. It becomes possible. In addition, the speaker is provided so as to be inclined toward the front end of the entrance, so that directivity is ensured for passengers who are about to enter the passenger conveyor, and therefore the sound volume that causes discomfort to passengers passing near the speaker Without the need, it is possible to provide an appropriate sound to the passenger who is about to get on the passenger conveyor.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a storage body extending from the circular hole portion of the opaque panel toward the outside of the opaque panel and inclined toward the front end of the entrance. In the invention according to claim 2, wherein the speaker is provided so as to emit a sound along the inclination of the storage body. In the storage body inclined toward the front end of the passenger conveyor, Since the above-mentioned speaker is provided to emit a sound along the inclination of the storage body, the sound is emitted toward the passenger who is about to get on with directivity and provides a suitable sound to the passenger who is about to get on the passenger conveyor. Can do.

  According to the present invention, since the broadcasting speaker is stored using the lighting equipment of the installed passenger conveyor, the broadcasting equipment can be easily added to the existing passenger conveyor. Moreover, an appropriate sound can be provided to the passenger who tries to get on the passenger conveyer without requiring a volume that causes discomfort to the passenger passing near the speaker.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of a passenger conveyor broadcasting facility installation method according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a side view showing an embodiment of broadcasting equipment for passenger conveyors according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a side view showing lighting equipment of an installed passenger conveyor. FIG.

  In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an opaque panel provided symmetrically on the left and right sides near the entrance of a passenger conveyor, and is supported by a deck board 2. 3 is a handrail that is driven in synchronization with a step (not shown), 4 is an inner deck, 5 is a ride opening, and 6 is a hole provided in the center of one side of the opaque panel 1. A mesh board 7 is provided to close the hole 6. 2 is a storage body provided outside the opaque panel 1 so as to incline toward the front end of the entrance 5 of the passenger conveyor. A sound is generated along the inclination of the storage body 8 in the storage body 8. A speaker 9 is provided so as to emit light. Here, the speaker 9 and the like are provided in the lighting equipment 10 portion of the installed passenger conveyor shown in FIG. 3, and one side of the circular lighting equipment 10 provided on both sides of the entrance / exit is removed. As described above, the broadcasting equipment centered on the speaker 9 is incorporated as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.

 According to the present embodiment, the speaker 9 emits a sound not toward the side of the opaque panel 1 but toward the front end of the entrance 5 of the passenger conveyor. . Therefore, an appropriate sound can be provided to a passenger who is about to get on the passenger conveyor without requiring a volume that causes discomfort to the passenger passing near the speaker 9. Moreover, since the speaker 9 is provided in the storage body 8 which inclines toward the front end of the entrance 5 of the passenger conveyor so as to emit a sound along the inclination of the storage body 8, the sound is about to get on with directivity. It is possible to provide an appropriate sound to the passengers that are emitted toward the passengers who want to get on the passenger conveyor.

It is a side view which shows the installation method of the broadcast equipment of the passenger conveyor which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. It is AA sectional drawing of FIG. FIG. 2 is a side view showing a lighting equipment portion of a passenger conveyor that has already been installed, and is a view corresponding to FIG. 1.
