Escalator step drop detection device

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide a step drop detection device (7) that prevents damage to equipment inside the machine room when step (5) is dropped from the step shaft (4). The step dropout detection device (7) includes a capture unit (19) and a detection unit (20). The capture part (19) receives the step (5) falling off from the step shaft (4) above the floor of the machine room of the escalator (1). When the capture unit (19) receives step (5), the detection unit (20) transmits a signal for stopping the escalator (1) to the control panel (8) that controls the operation of the escalator (1).
