Patent number: 10280045Abstract: A human transport device such as an escalator or a moving walkway may include tread elements connected into an endless transport belt, a drive unit for driving the transport belt, and a monitoring apparatus for detecting a faulty arrangement of at least one of the tread elements in the transport belt. The tread elements of the driven transport belt may pass through a transport region and a return region between a first return station and a second return station. The monitoring apparatus may have a detection means and a triggering unit. The detection means may be arranged in a direction of a longitudinal extension of the human transport device below the tread elements of the transport region between the first and second return stations. The detection means may be connected to the triggering unit, and the triggering unit may actuate upon mechanical influence on the detection means.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2016Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignees: THYSSENKRUPP ELEVATOR AG, THYSSENKRUPP AGInventors: Irfan Akyurt, Christopher Busemann, Aurelio Castaño Lantero

Patent number: 9994427Abstract: A safety chain for conveyor pallets may comprise bent links arranged in alternating fashion with straight links. Each of the bent links may have two ends with a wheel disposed at each end. Each consecutive bent link and straight link may be joined at an articulation point. The safety chain may also comprise arms extending from each articulation point, wherein a conveyor pallet may be coupled to each arm. Further, roller guides that follow a trajectory of the safety chain may be arranged on one of two sides of the safety chain. The roller guides may rotate the wheels of the bent links. The articulation points enable rotation and position change of the bent links and the straight links so as to increase or decrease a distance between consecutive conveyor pallets according to a change of speed of a conveyor.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2014Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: THYSSENKRUPP ELEVATOR INNOVATION CENTER S.A.Inventors: Miguel Angel Gonzalez Alemany, Juan Domingo Gonzalez Pantiga, José Mendiolagoitia Juliana, Francisco Palomero Cocho, Aurelio Castaño Lantero, Eduardo Moran Garcia, Pedro Ros Zuazua

Patent number: 9828218Abstract: A set of pallets for transportation systems for transporting passengers and/or goods may include a pulling pallet that pulls a pulled pallet. The pulled and pulling pallets may articulate relative to one another about an axis substantially perpendicular to a direction of displacement of a continuous belt formed by such sets of pallets. The set of pallets may have a support surface for supporting passengers and/or goods, as well as a functional surface opposite the support surface. The functional surface may include a balance having a first end articulated to the functional surface according to an axis substantially perpendicular to the direction of displacement and a second end opposite the first end that has a one or more coupling devices that form a coupling joint between one or more devices that pull the pulling pallet along a trajectory followed by the continuous belt.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2014Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: THYSSENKRUPP ELEVATOR INNOVATION CENTER S.A.Inventors: Miguel Angel Gonzalez Alemany, Juan Domingo Gonzalez Pantiga, Pedro Ros Zuazua, Alberto Florez Castro, Francisco Palomero Cocho, Aurelio Castaño Lantero, Luis Joaquín Fernandez Alvarez

Patent number: 9776833Abstract: A conveyor system for displacing passenger/goods formed by a moving endless belt comprising a plurality of pallet assemblies and drive means to transmit a drive movement to the pallet belt. The pallets have a functional surface opposite to the support surface and having first meshing means. The drive means comprise second meshing means designed to interact with the first meshing means, so that the drive pallets, are driven by the drive means by means of a meshing between the first meshing means and the second meshing means and to drive said pallet belt in the movement direction D. The drive means have a linear motor aligned with the movement direction D.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2013Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: THYSSENKRUPP ELEVATOR INNOVATION CENTER, S.A.Inventors: Miguel Angel Gonzalez Alemany, Juan Domingo Gonzalez Pantiga, Enrique Gonzalez Fernandez, José Mendiolagoitia Juliana, Alberto Pello Garcia, Francisco Palomero Cocho, Aurelio Castaño Lantero, Eduardo Moran Garcia, Pedro Ros Zuazua, Javier Martinez Gutierrez, Ignacio Muslera Fernandez
