Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement of a voice guidance device for an escalator and a moving sidewalk (hereinafter referred to as an escalator or the like).

In the conventional escalator, as shown in FIG. 5, the speaker 2 is attached without leaving a gap inside the balustrade 1 near the entrance, and various voice guidance is given to the passengers. That is, boarding guidance, attention guidance, and the like. In such voice guidance, it is usual to propose means for making it easy to adjust the volume, means for achieving appropriate timing of guidance, and the like.
JP-A-6-321479

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when escalators for ascending operation and descending operation are arranged in parallel, each is provided with a guide device, and when each performs voice guidance, it differs from the direction in which the passenger wants to go The inconvenience of hearing direction guidance occurs. In other words, for passengers who want to go up, there is a case where the next escalator, “I will go up. It is done. This is unavoidably a big problem for blind passengers.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a voice guidance device having directivity with suppressed spread of sound.

The present invention is a speaker in a direction opposed to the landing inside Newell the escalator or moving walk, the escalator or moving walk for performing voice guidance to passengers, to place the speakers in a position away from the steel plate forming the Newell, A horn having a closed shape is provided between the speaker and the steel plate, and a partition is provided inside the horn. The partition has a grid and is combined or has a honeycomb structure.

  Appropriate guidance only for the necessary passengers in order to provide voice guidance with directivity in any direction by restricting the passage of sound to a narrow space by slit, grid or honeycomb structure in the horn Can be done.

  A plurality of partitions with slits are provided inside the horn.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a side view showing an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. It is a CC line arrow directional view.

 5 and 6, the same reference numerals denote the same parts. Reference numeral 10 denotes a steel plate that forms the balustrade 1, and a cylindrical horn 11 is provided between the steel plate 10 and the speaker 2, for example. It has been. The horn 11 is provided with a partition 12 having a slit 12a. Since the sound passes through the slit 12a, the spread of the sound other than the direction of the slit 12a is suppressed, the directivity is satisfied, and the guidance content is notified only to the necessary passengers. Reference numeral 13 denotes a hole for removing sound provided in the steel plate 10. The partition 12 with the slits 12a may be a grid or a partition having a honeycomb structure, and it is needless to say that the partition 12 is not limited to the embodiment. If space permits, the horn has a rectangular cross section, the length is about twice the depth of the speaker 2, the short side of the rectangle is about the diameter of the speaker 2, and the longer side is the speaker. It may be about 4 times the diameter of 2.

  In some cases, the present invention can be applied not only to escalators but also to speakers used in elevators and mechanical parking / bicycle parking devices.

It is a side view which shows one Example of this invention. It is AA arrow sectional drawing of FIG. It is a BB arrow directional cross-sectional view of FIG. It is CC line arrow line view of FIG. It is a side view which shows the conventional audio guidance apparatus. It is a front view of the escalator arranged in parallel.
