An embedded type updating escalator, combined with an original truss (10) of an original escalator for installation. The embedded type updating escalator comprises a truss assembly, as well as stairs, stair guide rails, stair chains, a traction machine, a skirt panel, inner and outer cover plates, a handrail system, and an electrical control system which are combined and mounted with the truss assembly. The truss assembly comprises a plurality of sections. The transverse width of the sections is smaller than the inner transverse width of the original truss, and the plurality of sections are embedded into the original truss. The original truss is provided with a plurality of transverse bars (11), and the sections avoid the transverse bars when embedded into the original truss. According to the embedded type updating escalator, complete updating of the escalator is achieved under the condition that the original truss is reserved, the updating cost is effectively reduced, and manpower is saved.

Description

EMBEDDED TYPE UPDATING ESCALATOR FIELD [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of escalators, and in particular to 5 an embedded type updating escalator. BACKGROUND [0002] An escalator is a stationary electric drive device with stairs circulating upward or downward to transport passengers. The escalator can continuously transport passengers and 10 has high transportation capacity, and is therefore widely used in public places with large traffic such as a shopping mall or a station. [0003] The escalator is composed of a truss, stairs, stair guide rails, stair chains, a tractor, skirt plates, inner and outer cover plates, a handrail system, and an electrical control system. The truss is the basic bearing and supporting component of the escalator, and other 15 components of the escalator are born by the truss. The truss is also the largest and heaviest of the components of the escalator. As shown in FIG. 1, the original truss 10 of the escalator is mounted on a building 1, and the original truss 10 may be partially embedded into the building 1 if necessary. The existing escalator is generally designed together with the building and is adaptively mounted to the building. The escalator can be repaired by replacing some 20 components when it is damaged. However, when the overall escalator needs to be updated, it is difficult to do so by replacing the components one by one, and the original escalator has to be completely removed, so does the old truss, and then the new escalator can be mounted, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. During the removal, the old truss needs to be removed, which may inevitably cause damage to the building and thus further increase the 25 cost of update. [0004] To sum up, there is a need in the art for an escalator that can be updated and upgraded without removing the original truss, so as to save cost and manpower. SUMMARY 30 [0005] In view of this, an object according to the present application is to provide an embedded type updating escalator which adopts a sectioned truss assembly, where the sections of the truss assembly are embedded into the original truss, and other components of the escalator are mounted in combination with the truss assembly, so as to realize the update of the escalator without removing the original truss. 5 [0006] In order to achieve the above object, an embedded type updating escalator is provided according to the present application, which is mounted in combination with an original truss of an original escalator.
