An escalator is an electric device that moves people or goods vertically. It consists of continuous steps, and the driving device makes it run in a cycle. Escalators are generally used in commercial buildings, shopping centers, subway stations and other places to provide passengers with convenient vertical transportation. It can replace traditional stairs and can transport large numbers of people quickly and efficiently during rush hour.
Escalators usually include the following important components:
Escalator comb plate: located on the edge of the escalator, used to fix the soles of passengers to ensure stability during operation.
Escalator Chain: The steps of an escalator are connected to form a continuously running chain.
Escalator Steps: Platforms on which passengers stand or walk, linked together by chains to form the running surface of the escalator.
Escalator driving device: usually composed of a motor, a reducer and a transmission device, responsible for driving the operation of the escalator chain and related components.
Escalator handrails: usually include handrails, hand shafts and handrail posts to provide additional support and balance to make passengers safer when walking on the escalator.
Escalator Railings: Located on both sides of escalators to provide additional support and balance to passengers.
Escalator controller: used to control and manage the operation of escalators, including start, stop and speed regulation.
Emergency stop system: used to stop the escalator immediately in case of emergency to ensure the safety of passengers.
Photoelectric sensor: It is used to detect whether there are obstacles or passengers blocking the escalator during operation, and if so, it will trigger the emergency stop system.
