A transport device for conveying passengers between first and second landing areas in a conveying direction may include a skirt member and a balustrade, which may include lower and upper sides, extending between the landing areas. The skirt member may be secured to the lower side. An endless moving handrail may form a loop. A first section of the handrail moves along the upper side of the balustrade in the conveying direction, and a second section of the handrail moves within the skirt member opposite the conveying direction. Two turnaround sections are disposed between the first and second sections near the first and second landing areas, respectively. At least one of the turnaround sections includes a cover member that renders part of the turnaround section of the handrail inaccessible to passengers. The cover member may comprise a positioning mechanism for adjustably positioning the cover member relative to the balustrade.

The present invention relates to step roller monitoring and maintenance personnel monitoring of a passenger conveyor, and belongs to the field of passenger conveyor technologies. In the monitoring system and monitoring method of the present invention, an imaging sensor and/or a depth sensing sensor is used to sense the step roller/maintenance personnel of the passenger conveyor to acquire data frames, and the data frames are analyzed and processed to monitor whether the movement or position of the step roller/activity or position of the maintenance personnel is in a normal state.

A plurality of steps are linked by endless step chains. Each of the steps includes: a step main body; first shafts that are disposed on the step main body; first step rollers that are disposed on the first shafts, and that are guided by the first guide rails; second shafts that are parallel to the first shafts; and second step rollers that are disposed on the second shafts, and that are guided by the second guide rails. The first shafts move along first pathways, and the second shafts move along second pathways. The second pathways are positioned inside the first pathways when viewed parallel to respective shaft axes of the first shafts. The step chains link each of the steps by joining the second shafts of each of the steps, and are disposed within a range of the step main body in an axial direction of the first shafts.

An assembled passenger conveying system, a method of assembling the same and a modularized device. The assembled passenger conveying system includes at least two modularized devices, the at least two modularized devices are detachably connected to form a loading area, and power is supplied from one or more modularized devices to drive the loading area to travel on a conveying path of the assembled passenger conveying system.

The disclosure relates to a passenger transport system which is designed as a moving walkway or escalator. The passenger transport system has two access regions and a conveyance region, each of the two access regions having a walking-accessible surface. At least one of the walking-accessible regions is provided with a guide device for guiding and channeling users with different needs, wherein the guide device comprises tactile elements whose planar arrangement in the access region divides the walking-accessible surface into a first corridor with tactile elements and a second corridor without tactile elements. The two corridors are arranged next to each other and extend over the walking-accessible surface in a direction of conveyance of the passenger transport system.

The passenger conveyor step flow adjusting apparatus includes: guiding pads that are disposed on two sides in a width direction of steps, and that contact facing wall surfaces of return path driving rails that are spaced apart in a width direction of a main frame, to suppress movement of the steps in the width direction; and a return path driving rail position adjusting portion that adjusts a position of each of the return path driving rails that are spaced apart in the width direction of the main frame in the width direction relative to rail supporting members.
