A passenger transport system having a conveyor belt is described. The passenger transport system comprises at least one handrail and a fastening device for a protective device in the region of the handrail end curve. A control unit blocks the operation of the passenger transport system in one direction of travel on the basis of a sensor signal, such that, if there is at least one protective device in the region of the handrail end curve, the direction of travel in which the handrail runs into the protective device is blocked. A method for controlling a bidirectional passenger transport system is also described.

Passenger transport system and method for operating a passenger transport system

The disclosure relates to monitoring a state of a physical passenger transport system. In an aspect, monitoring includes use of an updated digital double dataset that reproduces characterizing properties of components of the physical passenger transport system in an actual configuration of the passenger transport system after assembly and installation thereof in a building, in a machine-processable manner. At least one detection device is arranged in the physical passenger transport system, which detects a load profile which is transmitted to the updated digital double dataset. A set of rules is used to convert the load profile into modified characterizing properties of virtual components. Through the monitoring, changes and change trends on the components are tracked and evaluated using the updated digital double dataset by calculations and/or by static and dynamic simulations.

A speed monitoring device for measuring a rotational frequency or rotational speed of a main drive shaft of a passenger transportation system can include at least one rotational speed sensor having an input shaft, a pinion, and a tapping device arranged on a shaft casing surface of the main drive shaft of the passenger transportation system. Furthermore, there is also a bracket for attaching the rotational speed sensor and the pinion in a stationary position relative to an axis of rotation of the tapping device, the tapping device having a gearing which can be coupled to the pinion in a rotation-transmitting manner, and the pinion being rotatably mounted in the bracket at two bearing areas.

An escalator or a moving walkway has two access regions, each with a comb plate, and a conveying region arranged between the access regions. The conveying region extends between the two comb plates of the access regions. At least one projection projects into the conveying region at at least one stationary part of the escalator or moving walkway. At least one monitoring sensor is arranged at least partly in the at least one projection.

Arrangement of a monitoring sensor in an escalator or in a moving walkway

A passenger transportation system, such as an escalator or moving walk, contains a circulating band, a driving station, and a reversing station. The driving station is arranged in the area of a first end of the passenger transportation system and has a slave control unit. The reversing station in the area of a second end of the passenger transportation system has a master control unit. For the purpose of exchanging data, the master control unit and the slave control unit are connected together by a data bus. The slave control unit has a first printed circuit board on which is mounted a first set of electronic components and which serves to transmit to the master control unit data concerning the functioning of the passenger transportation system. The master control unit has a second printed circuit board on which is mounted a second set of electronic components and which serves to analyze the data and control of the passenger transportation system. The first and second boards are identically constructed and may have identical sets of electronic components.

A wall-integrable lens arrangement and a wall-integrated device with a connection housing and such a lens arrangement includes a connection housing having a radiation-emitting element. The connection housing is arranged on a first side of a wall and has an attachment portion and a connecting member. A lens arrangement has a lens head that is transparent to the radiation and an attachment portion and a connection member. The wall has a wall breakthrough through which at least one of the attachment portions projects, the connection members of the connection housing and the lens arrangement being mutually engaged. The wall breakthrough and at least one of the attachment portions that projects through it are complementary and formed in such a manner that the lens arrangement is maintained in a pre-specified horizontal position or rotational position and secured in the position against rotation.

Sensing equipment for monitoring the space in front of escalators for the control of the drive has sensors arranged in handrail inlet caps of the escalator balustrades. Each sensor consists of a transmitter and a receiver and operates with high-frequency waves. The sensors monitor the access to the escalator in a specific region in front of the entry to the escalator, for example the region of the entrance plate. On entry into the monitoring region of a sensor the high-frequency waves emitted by the transmitter are reflected by the person or object and picked up by the associated receiver and the escalator drive is switched on.

Equipment for monitoring the space in front of escalators and moving walkways by high-frequency sensors

The invention relates to a method for stopping conveying equipment for persons of the type that includes a drive motor, a frequency converter for controlling motor operation, and a holding brake. On activation of a safety element a the frequency converter decreases the speed of the drive motor according to a pre-established braking ramp, the holding brake being activated before standstill of the conveying equipment. Operational safety of the braking system is thus increased.

Method of stopping conveying equipment for persons

The invention relates to a method for stopping conveying equipment for persons, wherein on response of a safety element a braking process performed by a frequency converter co-operating with a drive motor is initiated, by means of which the conveying equipment for persons is brought to a standstill, wherein the braking process is monitored by a safety circuit which comprises at least a first channel and a second channel. The operational safety of the braking system is thereby increased.
