Patent number: 11339030Abstract: A passenger moving installation includes a plurality of tread elements forming an endless conveyor belt, wherein the tread elements are at least partially covered by at least one element that limits a transportation height of a user set of the installation. A safety system is configured to detect a risk of collision between the user set and the covering element. A method of determining a risk of collision between a user set and at least one covering element in a passenger moving installation at least partially covered by the covering element, includes determining the height of the user set in a monitoring area via a safety system, comparing the height of the user set to the height of a safety threshold, and triggering an event in the safety system if the user height exceeds the safety threshold.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2019Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: TK Escalator Norte S.A.Inventors: Adrián Álvarez Cuervo, Marcos Pérez Pérez, José Mendiolagoitia Juliana, Isabel Gonzalez Mieres, Francisco Javier Sesma Sanchez

Patent number: 11254545Abstract: A method predicts whether an approaching passenger intends to travel on a passenger moving system having at least one movable pallet. The method includes positioning at least one monitoring device in the vicinity of the passenger moving system such that it monitors a detection area wherein the detection area includes at least a first detection area. The monitoring system then detects the presence of a passenger in the at least first detection area and monitors a trajectory of the passenger. A response is triggered at a control unit of the passenger moving system when the monitored trajectory of the passenger provides a predicted trajectory that reaches the entrance to the passenger moving system.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2020Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: TK Elevator Innovation Center S.A.Inventors: José Mendiolagoitia Juliana, Marcos Pérez Pérez, Isabel Gonzalez Mieres, Francisco Javier Sesma Sanchez, Adrián Álvarez Cuervo

Patent number: 8770374Abstract: A braking system for escalators and moving walkways, includes a braking device (3) with a main brake (30) of the type which is released when there is no voltage in its electric activator, and an auxiliary brake (31) of the type which is closed when there is no voltage in its electric activator. A controller (1) controls the braking device (3), prepared for obtaining the load of the escalator or moving walkway, and calculates the braking torque required for each braking device (3) depending on the load and activating the braking device (3) for obtaining the corresponding torque while braking when a braking command is received. The auxiliary brake is activated (32) for taking the escalators or moving walkway to a safe position when there is a system failure.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2012Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Thyssenkrupp Elevator Innovation Center, S.A.Inventors: Miguel Angel Gonzalez Alemany, Alberto Florez Castro, Jose Ojeda Arenas, Eva Rodriguez Rodriguez, Eduardo Moran Garcia, Jose Mendiolagoitia Juliana

Patent number: 7562758Abstract: A safety device is provided for transport systems such as walkways and stairs that include moving elements (1, 2) with longitudinal movements and in which one of the moving elements (1, 2) may undergo tilting movements in relation to an operating direction. A safety counter-guide (7) is arranged on the moving elements (1, 2) and prevents the upward tilting of the moving elements (1, 2). The safety counter-guide also includes a lower sensor (8) in the form of a band that generates a stop signal for the system upon coming into contact with moving elements (1, 2). Since the moving elements (1, 2) cannot tilt in an upwards direction, possible risks both for the user and for the mechanical system are prevented.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2007Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignees: Thyssenkrupp Norte, S.A., Thyssenkrupp Elevator (ES/PBB) Ltd.Inventors: Miguel Angel González Alemany, Juan Domingo Gonzalez Pantiga, Manuel Alonso Cuello, José Mendiolagoitia Juliana

Patent number: 7552812Abstract: The invention relates to a safety device for moving handrails consisting of a stop (5), arranged at the entrance of the handrail (1) assembled on a fixed railing (3) finishing the handrail, the stop (5) being connected to a rod (7) which can move longitudinally and is retractable against a spring (9), the device comprising a hinged outer lid (15) having locking pawls (19) for an inner lid (18), such that the outer lid (15) automatically tends to the open position due to the effect of the springs (17) affecting the hinge (16) when the stop (5) is retracted and the lock (10) of the latter are released, whereas the inner lid (18), upon being released, also tends to the open position by simple gravity. In this way when a user does not let go of the handrail (1) when it penetrates the railing (3), he or she drives the stop (5) with his or her hand and the lids (15) and (18) are automatically opened, preventing injury to the hand of the user and causing the stop of the handrail through a microswitch (23).Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2007Date of Patent: June 30, 2009Assignees: Thyssenkrupp Norte, S.A., Thyssennkrupp Elevator (ES/PBB) Ltd.Inventors: Miguel Angel González Alemany, Juan Domingo Gonzalez Pantiga, Manuel Alonso Cuello, José Mendiolagoitia Juliana
