Abstract
The escalator safety brush is used on the escalators at the entrances and exits of major markets, shopping malls or subways and is installed on both sides of the lower part of the escalator to prevent potential safety hazards caused by objects or shoelaces entangled in the gap between the steps and the skirt side plate of the escalator. There is a certain gap between the steps of the escalator, and between the steps and the upper and lower stations and the surrounding skirts. Generally, the gap is no more than 4mm, but such a small gap will also pinch clothes or children's fingers and shoes and cause injury. In order to avoid the passenger's foot extending between the escalator step and the apron, in the prior art, a brush is usually installed on the apron, so that when the passenger's foot extends to the edge, it will touch the brush to remind the passenger. Since the brush is often touched by passengers or other items, it needs to be replaced regularly, and it is best to replace it quickly. In the prior art, conventional bolts are usually used to fix the brush, which will reduce the replacement efficiency of the brush. The purpose of this paper is to provide a detachable escalator brush structure in order to overcome the defects of the prior art. The structure can realize the rapid replacement of the safety brush, and the installation mode of the device is faster and more efficient than the existing screw direct installation mode. When it needs to be replaced, just loosen the jackscrew to remove the whole brush. When the installation is completed, the fixing block can be completely hidden inside the installation slot, and the brush fixing strip supports the escalator apron through the outer edge of the installation slot to make it more beautiful.
