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).
Abstract:
A method and a device for monitoring a state of a physical passenger transport system are described. The method includes monitoring the state of the passenger transport system using an actualized digital replica dataset (ADRD) which reproduces characterizing properties of components of the passenger transport system in an actual configuration in a machine-processable manner after assembly and installation thereof in a building. At least one detection device is arranged in the physical passenger transport system and detects changes in at least one characterizing property that occur due to wear. These changes are transmitted to the ADRD, wherein changes and change trends in the components are monitored and evaluated using calculations and/or using static and dynamic simulations.
Abstract:
A method and a corresponding device for exchanging a component in a passenger transport system are proposed. In this case, a digital double dataset, which is digitally stored in a computer and can also be processed, exists parallel to the passenger transport system, wherein said digital double dataset comprises data concerning physical properties of the passenger transport system. The method comprises the steps of physically exchanging the component by removing an existing component from the passenger transport system and replacing the existing component with a replacement component; and exchanging component data concerning physical properties of the component in an at least partially automated manner by replacing component data concerning physical properties of the existing component with component data concerning physical properties of the replacement component in the digital double dataset.
Abstract:
Guide rail for an escalator of a moving walkway, comprising at least one planar base surface with a guide surface for rollers, particularly for guide rollers of a step belt or plate belt of an escalator or a moving walkway, and at least one guide strip with a guide flank for lateral guidance of these rollers, wherein the guide strip is a separate component.
