Abstract
The disclosure relates to a protection device for protecting installation personnel while the installation personnel carry out installation works on a passenger transport system designed as an escalator or a moving walkway. The protection device has at least one blocking device, at least one support with a fastening region for fastening to a supporting structure of the passenger transport system, and a sensor system. Data relating to a fastening state of the fastening region can be detected with the sensor system and the data can be transmitted via a signal connecting unit to a data transmission module of the passenger transport system.
Claims15
A protection device for protecting installation personnel during installation works on a passenger transport system in the form of an escalator or moving walkway, the protection device comprising:
- at least one blocking device;
- and
- at least one support which is connected to the at least one blocking device,
- wherein said at least one blocking device extends transversely to the at least one support and along a longitudinal extent of the passenger transport system at least during the installation works,
- wherein the at least one support comprises a fastening region at one end of the at least one support, which fastening region is configured for fastening to a supporting structure of the passenger transport system;
- at least one sensor module;
- and
- a signal connecting unit configured to exchange data with the at least one sensor module and with a data transmission module of the passenger transport system,
- wherein the at least one sensor module is positioned in the fastening region of the at least one support, the at least one sensor module configured to detect the data about a fastening state of the fastening region and to transmit said data via the signal connecting unit to the data transmission module of the passenger transport system,
- wherein the at least one blocking device is configured such that personal protective equipment can be fastened thereto and at least one of the at least one sensor module is positioned in the at least one support such that the at least one sensor module is configured to detect a stress spike acting on the protection device and to transmit corresponding data via the signal connecting unit to the data transmission module of the passenger transport system.
An installation assembly comprising:
- a passenger protection device comprising:
- at least one blocking device;
- and
- at least one support which is connected to the at least one blocking device,
- wherein said at least one blocking device extends transversely to the at least one support and along a longitudinal extent of a passenger transport system at least during installation,
- wherein the at least one support comprises a fastening region at one end of the at least one support, which fastening region is configured for fastening to a supporting structure of the passenger transport system;
- at least one sensor module;
- and
- a signal connecting unit configured to exchange data with the at least one sensor module and with a data transmission module of the passenger transport system,
- wherein the at least one sensor module is positioned in the fastening region of the at least one support, the at least one sensor module configured to detect the data about a fastening state of the fastening region and to transmit said data via the signal connecting unit to the data transmission module of the passenger transport system;
- the passenger transport system;
- a user interaction module;
- and
- an installation script, wherein the installation script is retrievable from a storage medium via a data connection to the data transmission module of the passenger transport system, and wherein the installation script is configured to be displayed on a screen of the user interaction module and to present, in chronological order, individual installation steps, which are acknowledged with a user input after a current individual installation step has been carried out, in order to call up a subsequent individual installation step;
- and
- wherein, in the case of at least one of the individual installation steps, the data from at least one of the at least one sensor module regarding the fastening state of the fastening region of the at least one support of the protection device corresponding to the at least one of the at least one sensor module is retrieved via the data transmission module and the signal connecting unit.
