Problems solved by technology

In the case of separation of the handrail from the drive belt during the turning connection of the handrail and the drive belt together, however, its interfering effect increases not only the wear of the drive belt, but also the wear of the handrail
In addition, this interfering effect causes annoying interfering noises

Embodiment Construction

[0025] figure 1 An escalator 40 is shown. The escalator 40 comprises a support structure 25 , a railing 22 , a railing base 24 and a handrail 6 . The handrail 6 is guided and moved to circulate. The visible part 41 of the handrail 6 can be guided along the outer edge of the railing 22 . The return guide part 42 of the handrail 6 generally runs inside the railing base 24 and / or the support structure 25 , wherein the height of the railing base 24 or the support structure 25 is limited in the installed state of the escalator 40 . The device 2 for driving the armrest 6 can be arranged on a return guide part 42 of the armrest 6 . The device 2 is connected to a drive motor 30 . The drive motor 30 produces a cycle, preferably a reversible movement B of the armrest 6 . The description of the components of the escalator 40 applies equally to the description of the components of the moving walk.

Abstract

The invention relates to a device (2) for driving a handrail (6) for an escalator (40) or for driving a handrail (6) for a moving walkway, the device comprising a drive belt (1) guided along a contact zone (10) and deflected on a deflection roller (7) after passing through the contact zone (10). The handrail (6) can be guided resting against the drive belt (1) along the entire contact zone (10) and can be driven by the drive belt (1) by means of friction between drive belt (1) and handrail (6). The device (2) comprises a deflection element (16), which deflection element (16) ensures that a lift-off point (18) of the handrail (6) from the drive belt (1) delimiting the contact zone (10) is arranged upstream of the deflection region of the drive belt (1) on the deflection roller (7). According to the invention, an escalator (40) or a moving walkway can be modernized with such a device (2).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for driving an armrest. The handrail can be used as a part of the escalator or moving walk. The invention also relates to an escalator or moving walk with such a handrail. Background technique [0002] An escalator or moving walk consists of an endless belt of steps and a support structure used to transport people or goods. Each side of the walking belt is bounded along the conveying direction by a respective railing which is arranged on a railing base. A handrail that is guided to circulate is provided on the above-mentioned railing to loop to the end of the upper part of the railing. The return guide of the handrail is usually integrated into the base of the railing or alternatively provided in the supporting structure of the escalator or moving walk. The drive for driving the armrest is usually arranged in the return guide of the armrest. [0003] US 5 295 567 shows a handrail drive for an escalator, which is a...
