A monitoring system includes: an imaging sensor configured to sense a lighting device of the passenger conveyor to acquire image data; and a processing apparatus configured to process the image data, the processing apparatus being configured to include: a background acquisition module configured to acquire a background model based on sensed image data; a foreground detection module configured to compare image data sensed in real time with the background model to obtain a foreground object; and a working condition judgment module configured to perform data processing at least based on the foreground object to judge whether the lighting device is in a normal state. Then, a failure or an abnormal lighting state of the lighting device can be timely diagnosed so that maintenance is performed.

A safety system for a moving walkway having a continuous loop of steps driven by a drive system and missing step detector adapted to detect a missing step from the loop of steps. The safety system comprises: an interrupt unit adapted to control the drive system to disable automatic movement of the loop of steps upon detection of a predetermined event and adapted to subsequently control the drive system to enable automatic movement of the loop of steps only after a safety procedure has been completed without a missing step being detected by the missing step detector. The safety procedure comprises causing a step to traverse an entire loop under manual control of the drive system.

A detection device includes processing circuitry configured to acquire sensor information from at least one sensor; the at least one sensor configured to be disposed on at least one of balustrades erected on both right and left sides with respect to a moving direction of steps of at least one passenger conveyor, each of the balustrades including a plurality of side plates; determine whether or not the detection target is a designated target to be warned on a basis of the acquired sensor information; and display a warning image indicating the designated target on a display device in a case where the processing circuitry determines that the detection target is the designated target.

The present invention relates to a safe operation-stop method for an escalator for safely operating and stopping an escalator that senses an abnormal speed of the escalator so as to prevent passengers from falling. A safe operation-stop method for an escalator is provided, the method including sensing an abnormal speed of the escalator and stopping the escalator before it is reversely rotated, and being capable of reliable braking when an abnormal speed of the escalator occurs, thereby preventing passengers from falling by adjusting the inertial stopping distance when braking.

A plate belt of a moving walkway has plates arranged in succession in a movement direction and between two mutually parallel link chains formed by chain links of different widths. Each chain link is connected with one of the plates by at least one fastening device. The fastening devices include a fastening bolt and a cup washer, wherein the cup washer has a cup base ring and a cup collar encircling the cup base ring. The inner height of the cup collar corresponds with the thickness of at least one chain link strap of the chain link and the inner diameter of the cup collar is greater than the outer diameter of the region of the fastening bolt bearing against the cup base ring in the mounted state.

The present disclosure relates to a monitoring module and an escalator/autowalk including the monitoring module. A monitoring device comprises: a first component disposed on one of the driving device of the escalator or autowalk and a fixed device; and a recess portion disposed on the other of the driving device of the escalator or autowalk and the fixed device and configured to receive at least a part of the first component; wherein a relative movement between the recess portion and the first component triggers the first component so as to indicate a movement of the driving device. By applying the monitoring device of the present disclosure, it is possible to achieve monitoring the movement of the driving device of the escalator or autowalk in multiple directions.

A missing footstep detection device for a passenger conveyor is installed in a passenger conveyor including a rail formed so as to have a linear portion and a curved portion, installed in a building, footsteps endlessly coupled at a regular interval, guided by the rail, and a roller mounted to each of the footsteps to roll in contact with the rail. The detection device includes a detection member having a first end side and a second end side, that is pivotally supported about a shaft passing through an intermediate portion between the first end side and the second end side and parallel to a direction of a center shaft of rolling of the roller, and is disposed above the linear portion of the rail so that the first end side can make contact with an outer peripheral surface of the roller rolling on an upper surface of the linear portion of the rail, a biasing means to bias the first end side to rotate toward the linear rail beneath the first end side, and a switch provided to transmit a signal in accordance with the rotation of the detection member due to the biasing.
